RARE STEIFF LYING CAT WITH BUTTON.

A very cute and seldom seen Steiff cat in a lying or crouching position. Cat is unjointed and made from white mohair which was originally airbrushed with light brown stripes. His tail is quite long and thin and is positioned straight outward. His bow and bell are not original. Cat’s face is detailed with oversized green and black slit pupil eyes and a pink hand-embroidered nose. Steiff produced this design in white, and white and brown, in 13 and 15cm from 1927 through 1928 only. As a result, it is seldom if ever seen on the secondary market and is usually of great interest to collectors. Cat retains his trailing “F” button as his Steiff ID. SIZE: Overall 3″ t (7cm). PROVENANCE: Ex-Collection of Linda Mullens; Chuck & Cathy Steffes Collection. CONDITION: Brown highlighting has faded considerably. Very light general mohair thinning and playwear. Otherwise very good. 1-13799 (350-750) – Lot 3096
