EXTRAORDINARY AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE EARLY STEIFF ZEBRA PULL TOY WITH ID.

This is an utterly fantastic and seldom seen early woolen plush zebra on wheels. He is standing, unjointed, and made from textured grey material that has been lovingly and painstakingly hand painted with black stripes. He has a grey and black yarn mane and a black mohair tipped tail. His charming and distinctly old fashioned looking face is detailed with black button eyes. He rides upon four early metal wheels. He retains his Steiff button as his ID. This absolute rarity was manufactured in 28, 35, 43, 50, and 60 cm from 1910-1919 and is seldom, if ever, seen on the secondary market. SIZE: 10-1/2″ h. PROVENANCE: A fine New England Collection. CONDITION: As noted. With light playwear, a c. 1 cm hand-stitched seam repair to the underside between the front legs, slightly loose tail, and light dust, otherwise good. 9-25049 (1,000-2,000) – Lot 1383
