| 1960s English Lion Cub Plush Toy(Reference #01-3-57)
Probably made in England in the 1960s, this 12" long lion cub (plus tail) is very clearly a copy of a Steiff toy. The pink embroidered nose is a dead giveaway. The toy is made of mohair plush, has woodwool stuffing, black plastic eyes, and original nose, mouth and claw embroidery. The cub is in very acceptable condition for his age, but does suffer from some marking to the plush. However, if you're a fan of lion toys, then don't let this one escape your clutches. (WR) US$44.00

|  | 1920s English Dean's Rag Book Toy Monkey with Label(Reference #01-10-02d)
 This delightful 12" tall soft toy monkey is in a permanent seated position and is fully jointed. He bears all the hallmarks of quality that you associate with toys made by Dean's Rag Book Company of London. He has luxurious silky mohair plush, woodwool and kapok stuffing, stitched felt paws, pressed felt face with moulded and painted facial features, glass eyes with eyelids - a most unusual feature, and felt ears. The monkey has a particularly appealing expression; he looks as though he has just been asked to keep mum, and is now looking for someone sympathetic to take him home. He has the long, curved arms that are so typical of soft toys and bears of the 1920s, and the way he sits with his arms touching his toes is simply adorable. He is in very acceptable condition for a soft toy that is 80 years old, but he does suffer from minor flaws. There is fading to the mohair on the front of his body, some loss of mohair (particularly to the knees), a few small holes to the felt face mask and ears, professional patching to both felt ears, and all four paw pads have been professionally replaced because the originals had deteriorated beyond repair. The original Dean's Rag Book label has been carefully re-stitched to the underside of the left foot. If you're looking for an unusual vintage soft toy monkey, then this Dean's example could be just the one for you.

| 1980 Dean's Rag Book Re-issue of 1920 Cloth Toby Dog(Reference #LBC20)
In 1980, Dean's Rag Book of England re-issued a number of its most celebrated toys from its 1920 catalogue. In particular, it reproduced a number of its knockabout toys (toys that revert to their original position after being tapped lightly). On offer here is Toby, one of four knockabout toys in the home pets series. As the catalogue states: 'these are the familiar animals that never fail in their appeal to children. Brightly coloured, humorous in expression, each is about 8" high'. Made of printed cotton and hygienically stuffed, this is a toy to delight all ages. Moreover, this Toby is in absolutely immaculate condition with all the Dean's trade marks clearly printed on the base. (WR) US$28.00

He is in very acceptable condition for his age, although he does suffer from slight loss of mohair, his squeaker no longer works, and his left ear lacks a small piece of felt and is stitched. However, he would still make a very attractive addition to any collection of soft toy cats. (WR) US$44.00

| 1990s Merrythought Plush Pigs (2)(Reference #01-3-02a)
Although they are of recent manufacture, these two plush pigs are no longer in the Merrythought catalogue, and are therefore no longer easily available. The smaller one (with the pink bow) measures 12" long, has synthetic plush, black plastic eyes, a delightfully upraised curly tail, and his Merrythought label. The other pig is also 12" in length, but measures 8" (rather than 6") in height. He has green and black glass-style eyes and an open mouth. Both items are in absolutely immaculate condition; they would make an appealing addition to any collection of plush pigs. (WR) US$44.00

|  | 1950s Siamese Cat Plush Toy(Reference #6-3-114)
Made in England in the 1950s, this seated Siamese cat measures 6" long. Made of mohair plush with kapok and excelsior stuffing, she has blue glass eyes, an embroidered nose and mouth, and felt ears. With her delicately shaded face, brown tail, and blue eyes, she is an extremely faithful representation of a real Siamese cat. Apart from a tendency to lean too far over (caused no doubt by fatigue over the years), and a small tear to one ear, she is in very good condition. (75 WR) US$24.00

| 1970s English Merrythought Jersey Cow(Reference #5-9-169)
