Steiff produced adorable toys during its early years. Some of their favourite animals were also developed as hand puppets. This old Scotty Dog is a good example of Steiff's adorable prewar hand puppets and was beautifully handmade in Germany between 1933-43. Its expression with glass eyes and hand stitched nose is lovely. Just by its proportions and the way it is sewn, you can tell how meticulously crafted this toy was. Scotty is well loved and shows play wear. The mohair is matted and there are bald spots, mainly in the head's area. This puppet is missing IDs and the fabric collar is not original. But like all well made pre-war toys the imperfections give an added layer of personality and uniqueness to it. Scotty's head is firmly stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. Little Scotty hand puppet can't wait to be adopted and join your antique toy collection!
