This fairly large guy is named Perri the Squirrel and is also a Walt Disney character made by *Steiff/Germany. Made from 1959-1980 (He is from the the early 60's). Was bought by our family when he came out and has been stored away all these years and boy is he hungry. He is in good condition, has his tag and button (#4317.03) and is made of Mohair. He is around 6 inches tall and almost 5 1/2 inches from hand to backside. Would make a very nice piece to add to one's Steiff or Disney collection. If you would like to see a small video of this guy and some other of our items, please visit our new youtube channel we are working on.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXZXERUyogA
*(Steiff is the world’s oldest plush manufacturer. Founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, a seamstress who was limited to sewing with one hand due to
polio, the company has grown to be synonymous with top quality the world over. Steiff is best known as the company that invented the Teddy bear. In 1902, Richard Steiff, a nephew of Margarete and a gifted artist/inventor, presented the idea to Margarete. At first, she was not enthusiastic. But with Richards persistence, she finally relented. And the rest is history. The famous “Button in Ear” trademark, introduced by Franz Steiff, another of Margarete’s nephews, in 1904, distinguishes every Steiff Teddy bear or animal).
