Here we have Steiff's beloved Fiffy cat. Fiffy is 3.5 inches tall and 7 inches long, lying, head jointed, and made from white mohair that has been carefully hand-airbrushed with black stripes. Her little tail wraps around her rear. She has green and black slit pupil eyes, a pink embroidered nose and mouth, and clear monofilament whiskers.
Overall, Fiffy was produced from 1955 through 1962 in 12, 17, and 25 cm and remains a classic and somewhat hard to find favorite with collectors today. This is the medium or 17 cm size.
