    Description

    Wonderful dolly kitty companion....
    =^..^=
    =^..^=
    Here is a darling, very early circa 1908, rare STEIFF, firmly straw-stuffed,
    cat
    or
    kitten
    on cast iron wheels, pull toy. She measures 5 1/2" long (not including her 2" long tail) and almost 6 1/2" high with
    firm straw stuffing
    . Her coloring is light, dusty brown. She still retains her original black glass, bead eyes and original neck collar and shows overall light wear with no leaking. Her pink stitched nose and mouth show a bit of wear. For her advanced age of about
    one hundred and ten years
    she is in remarkably good overall condition with no stains or damages, no repairs or odors and is from a smoke free home. These marvelous kitties are extremely hard to find as they were a favorite companion for many children and nearly loved to pieces! She will make a great companion for some of your antique dolls and toys.
