Steiff, the iconic plush toy company founded in Germany, is internationally renowned for its artistry, beauty, and lasting value. The company produced incredible stuffed animals of every type, including super fun hand puppets, like the beloved Jocko, a character that is present since its early years. And this old Jocko hand puppet is special not only because its endearing expression but because it's one of the rare models with a lilac felt body. This early toy was beautifully handmade in Germany between 1921-29. Just by the way his hands are sewn you can tell how meticulously crafted this puppet was. His eye-catching lilac costume, with expressive glass eyes, gives him a captivating look. Jocko's head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. This puppet has been loved and shows wear with small holes on its felt parts. Jocko is missing its button but still retains a great deal of charm and personality. Don't miss the chance to ad this rare character to your antique toy collection!
