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! And this puppet is even more special because it retains all IDs – button, yellow flag #6600/17, chest tag – and is in excellent condition. Little Bunny uses the finest mohair plush and was expertly handcrafted in Germany between 1968-78. The airbrushing work, with dark and golden hues, is remarkable. Rabbit's nose and mouth are hand-stitched and its neck is adorned with a silk bow. Its head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a plastic finger tube for movement. This sweet little puppet is in excellent vintage condition and looks like it has been stored away for many years. The colors are great and it has such a nice personality! Bunny can't wait to join your vintage toy collection!
Curiosity: The character "Mr. Bunny Rabbit" from the American TV Series "Captain Kangaroo" was a Steiff Rabbit Hand Puppet similar to this one!
