The world of Steiff creations is vast and no species are left behind. Along with the most known bears, cats and dogs, the company also developed some very unusual characters. Hucky Raven hand puppet is a great example of a bird that is rarely seen as a plush toy. This puppet was finely handcrafted in Germany circa 1960s and uses the nicest mohair plush. Its deep and lustrous quality is hard to capture in pictures. Hucky has an incredible presence with googly eyes and two amusing flapping wings. Its head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool). The lack of a finger tube is another design particularity of this puppet. Its head and felt beak are movable by placing your finger in its lower lip. The last picture uses a Steiff tag to show how it is intended to work. Little Raven is in good condition but the beak shows some wear and the Steiff button is missing. This playful little bird will be a very nice addition to your vintage toy collection.
- Condition: Used and pre-owned vintage puppet. Overall light wear. The beak shows some wear and the Steiff button is missing, leaving a small hole where it used to be. Worn chest tag. Please determine the condition by yourself, taking a close look at all pictures and asking questions.
