Antique 1920s Sitting Monkey Gund Creation Original Ears Painted Cloth Face Vtg

Extremely rare find in this condition with his original ears in tact and legiable tags.

Face paint is still bright- no holes or rips- I see no repairs or restitching.

Flaws are

His head wants to lean to the right a bit (like he’s cocking his head to the side) his neck is still firmly stuffed so he can be posed and arranged to look straight ahead .

His left ear is torn about 1/4 inch on the bottom- see last picture- if you place it back where it goes gently it can’t be seen when displayed.

His fur is still fluffy on alot his body and he is NOT threadbare but it is pressed down esp on his booty and tail from years of sitting…and could use a little rebuffing with a brush .

He is Over 100 years old so it is of course in need of a clean and or restore but finding sitting money in this condition is EXTREMELY RARE
