For your consideration we have a nice vintage Mohair Bunny made by The Character company with glass eyes and his nose looks like mohair. He/she has original ear tag. The Character company always put the ear tag on the left ear. He is in great condition. I see no problems He is jointed and vivid golden yellow. He is an older bear. Probably made from 1930's -1950's. He measures 13 inches tall and 6 inches wide. He comes from a smoke and pet free home. I was asked by a buyer if his head is harder than his body and if I felt a growler inside. I do feel a growler inside so it must not be working and his head is harder than his body. Thank you for the question.
