Rabbit Replica 1931 by Steiff - 22cm

Catalogue number: 403408

£225.00

Steiff created their rabbit in 1931. This enchanting replica is, like his predecessor, crafted from the finest honey and cream coloured mohair. He is stuffed with wood shavings in the traditional way and has internal wires and a squeaker. His glass eyes, exquisite airbrushing and delicately embroidered nose and mouth create the perfect replica of this much loved rabbit. He wears a green ribbon bow around his neck; which gently moves from side to side when his tail is moved. This mechanism once enthralled children and still brings a smile to adult faces! He features a replica button in ear and red tag from the period, with his modern tag neatly hidden on his hind leg.

He is limited to just 931 pieces and comes with his numbered certificate in a Steiff gift box with its original protective cardboard outer sleeve.
