Based on a classic Steiff design, this Lion hand puppet has an adorable expression! As other Steiff toys of the time, this puppet was expertly handmade in Germany between 1968-78 using the finest mohair plush. The gorgeous airbrushing work and his pronounced tipped mane give this character a gorgeous distressed look that everyone adores. He has amber eyes, embroidered nose and mouth, and nylon whiskers. Leo's head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a plastic finger tube for head movement. He is complete with all IDs and is overall in good used condition. This sweet little puppet will certainly be a great addition to any vintage toy collection!
