Cockatoo Rattle 1898 Replica Plush
Up until 1918, it was one of the most known and loved baby rattles in the Steiff collection. But this piece is not merely a great success story. Its faithful craftsmanship, hand-sewn bells, extra bell in his tummy, 5 delicately sewn layers of wings, and authentic material make this a real collector's item. It's made of felt, the same material that Margrete Steiff worked with in 1877 in her Filz-Konfektionswaren-Geschaft (Ready-Made Felt Goods Shop) and from which she produced the legendary "little elephant"… the 1st soft-stuffed animal in the world. Because the Steiff trademark "Button in Ear" had not yet been introduced in 1898 (the year in which this rattle was "born"), this 11-inch reproduction bears the original official button with the elephant symbol. Own this rattle and you own a noteworthy piece of history! Limited edition of 1,000 pieces.
