Like all Steiff creations, this adorable vintage Rabbit hand puppet is to fall in love with. Its endearing expression, with glass eyes, is an indication of an early model, likely made in the 50s. Little Bunny uses the finest mohair plush and was expertly handcrafted in Germany. The airbrushing work, with dark and golden hues, is perfect. Rabbit's nose and mouth are hand-stitched and the felt lining ears. Its head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. This sweet little puppet shows wear. It has lost its Steiff IDs and the bow. Also note that the felt ears show aging. 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!
