Steiff, the legendary German plush toy company, is famous for its artistry, beauty, and lasting quality. The company produced incredible stuffed animals of every type, including super fun hand puppets, like this adorable Rabbit, handcrafted in Germany circa 1960s. It has endearing glass eyes and uses the finest mohair plush. The airbrushing work, with dark and golden hues, is remarkable. It's nose and mouth are hand-stitched and its neck is adorned with a silk bow. The head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a plastic finger tube for movement. The puppet is gently used but no longer retains its Steiff IDs. Welcome this sweet puppet character to your vintage toy collection today!
Curiosity: The character "Mr. Bunny Rabbit" from the American TV Series "Captain Kangaroo" was a Steiff Rabbit Hand Puppet similar to this one!
