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. Its expressive glass eyes and hand stitched nose give this character a cuddly look that everyone loves. Little kitty was finely handcrafted in Germany using the nicest mohair plush. The coloring is vivid and the puppet is complete with all crisp tags, an indication that it has been gently used or not used at all. The chest tag, button and yellow flag #0317,00 narrows down the production time between 1959-67. The striped airbrushing work is also remarkable on this toy. Its head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a plastic finger tube for movement. Don't wait to bring home this special hand puppet to your vintage toy collection!
