    Vintage Steiff "Hoppy" Running Rabbit
    10", glass eyes, mohair, 1960s
    This little bunny came to me very distressed. She had been a very loved plaything for many years and then ended up in a box for many more. She had lost her beautiful amber eyes and her mohair was covered with dust and grime. I gave her a cleaning and found some glass eyes that are as close to the originals as I could get. Her new eyes are attached, sewn on in the traditional way. (Thanks YouTube!) I have replaced her lost ribbon with a vintage yellow ribbon I had in a box of my own 1950s-60s childhood toys.
    Hoppy looks so happy to be clean and ready for a new adventure. She does have some bare spots as you can see in the photos but that just shows how much she has been loved.
