    We think this was made around the mid 1950's. It belonged to my sister in law and has been packed away since 1981. There are no tags on it. When you roll the material back you can see the head is a round ball of pressed material that looks like dried hay. There is a finger opening (very small) which looks like a cylinder of thin cardboard. The material is not terribly soft. The nose and mouth are sewing thread. I have no idea what the eyes are made of or how they are fastened on.

    Any input to help us research this would be appreciated.

      I forgot to mention....it is a hand puppet. Sorry!

      No button in his ear and his ears are clean :) I think from looking at the link above it is the one from 1950's because there is a loop on the chest where a tag could have hung.

      Steiff Lea 1950's

      Thanks so much for the information and the super fast reply.

      Thank you. We have five parrots and just adopted a disabled sun conure. The bird in the picture was not a month old yet and enjoyed sleeping snuggled to my neck.

      Oh my gosh, I had this puppet when I was a little girl in the '50s! I haven't seen it for so many years, wish I still had it! Happy memories! I'm sure mine was a Steiff.

      Manikin & Scandinavian thank you for the loves.

      Mikko and Flower thank you for the loves. Every time I open a closet or a box I never know what will pop out.

      He reminded me of Daniel Tiger on Mr. Rogers, but not exactly the same... much nicer.

      Merry Christmas to you fhrjr and a Happy New Year!!!

      Thanks VV and the same to you and yours. With Maniken's help I identified this and will gift it to a grandchild very shortly. When she grows up it may have a bit more value.

      I've been thinking about a little competition for a while and I think in light of all that's been going on this would be a good time. I don't want to give any details yet to keep it fair . And I do want EVERYONE to feel comfortable about joining in. I will post details and get it started tomorrow if no problems come up .
      Pass it on.
    12. fhrjr2 fhrjr2, 9 years ago
      I will be watching for more information.
