1930s ERA STEIFF WOOLEN MINIATURE RABBIT WITH BUTTON.

Rabbit is made from white Nomotta wool and has a swivel head. He has a pom-pom tail and two pom-pom front arms. His white felt ears have a touch of pink airbrushing on their insides. Rabbit’s tiny and simple face is detailed with pink and red glass pupil eyes, a pink airbrushed nose and mouth, and clear monofilament whiskers. Steiff introduced woolen miniatures in the early 1930s in part to have a lower priced, collectible, entry level product offering, as well as to make items that would be good to display with other items and in vignettes. This pattern was produced in 4 and 6cm in a series of lifelike color combinations from 1931 through 1943. Rabbit retains his button and his ear tag, which has snapped in half, as his Steiff IDs. SIZE: Overall 2″ t (5cm). PROVENANCE: Chuck & Cathy Steffes Collection. CONDITION: Ear tag broken in two pieces, otherwise very good. 1-13842 (100-200) – Lot 3105

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
