Steiff, the legendary German plush toy company, is famous for its artistry, beauty, and lasting quality. They produced amazing stuffed animals of every type, including super fun hand puppets, like this classic design of the Tabby Cat, a favorite among plush collectors. And this Kitty is special not only because of its truly lovely expression with endearing glass eyes, but because its an early model #317, handcrafted in Germany between 1950-58. Kitty's nose/mouth is hand-stitched and its striped airbrushing work is just as remarkable. Tabby's head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. This sweet little puppet is very well preserved with nice coloring, crisp chest tag and almost no signs of wear. Don't miss the opportunity to include this gorgeous vintage Tabby Cat puppet to your toy collection today!
