$ 15.35

Availability: 100 in stock
  • Modified Item: No
  • Year: 1950
  • Age Level: 17 Years & Up
  • Condition: VERY GOOD Condition: All original & structurally sound. Seams are strong & stuffing is firm. Gray mohair is in excellent shape & his orange plastic eyes are secure. The silver metal winding key works as it should. The music probably plays more slowly now than when it was new. It is easily recognized as "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." It plays a longer segment than similar toys that often repeat just a short part of a song's refrain. The notes have a tinkling quality, but if you listen closely there is a dim, but repetitious clunk in the mix. Half of the orig. fabric tag has frayed off -magnified photos of what's still visible are provided. The bunny's lined ears & the underside of his body, once ivory white, have darkened from age & handling. They could brighten up significantly with proper cleaning -best left for the collector-expert. It has no tail and a faint musty smell, but absolutely NO spots, stains, tears, holes, or evidence of repair.*Please study the photos carefully* Thanks!
