|  | 1982 - 1987 German Steiff Baby's Rattle(Reference #5-3-28)
Steiff, Germany's premier soft toy manufacturer, made this rattle between 1982 and 1987. It measures 8.5" in diameter, and takes the form of a smiling sunbeam with closed eyes and pursed lips. The rattle is made of cotton and polyamide and is complete with its yellow Steiff label. It is in very good condition for its age. It just suffers from slight wear to the plush.

| 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

|  | 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)

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.

| 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
