Steiff, the legendary German plush toy company, is famous for its artistry, beauty, and lasting quality. They produced amazing stuffed animals of every type, including super fun hand puppets, like this classic design of the Tabby Cat, a favorite among plush collectors. And this Kitty has a truly lovely expression with endearing glass eyes, an indication of an early model handcrafted in Germany circa 1950s. Kitty's nose/mouth is hand-stitched and the striped airbrushing work on this puppet is really nice. Tabby's head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. This sweet little puppet is very well preserved, has nice coloring and still retains a crisp chest tag. Don't miss the opportunity to include this special vintage Tabby Cat puppet to your toy collection!
