STEIFF Fritzle the Rabbit 2007 - White Tag 037078 Limited Edition 1485/2007
Meet Fritzle the Rabbit, a truly enchanting 2007 limited edition creation from Steiff, numbered 1485 of just 2007 pieces worldwide. Crafted from fine white mohair and filled with acrylic fibre, Fritzle has a pleasing structure that allows him to stand proudly on his own. His expressive bright eyes, long delicate whiskers, and beautifully hand-stitched brown nose, mouth, and claws give him a warm and lifelike charm, while a soft pink blush accents his cheeks and inner ears for an extra touch of character.
Fritzle holds a large felt carrot in his paw, with a second smaller carrot tucked playfully into his back pocket, both intricately made with exceptional attention to detail. He proudly features the iconic Steiff gold-plated 'button in ear'along with the white tag nestled in his long, elegant ears, and retains his original fabric chest tag.
Adding to his magic, Fritzle hides a delightful surprise: gently turning his fluffy tail activates an internal musical box that plays a charming German folk tune (Auf'm Wasa grist D'Hasa), about a rabbit grazing in the fields. As the melody plays, an innovative mechanism brings him to life by moving his head in time with the music, creating a captivating and unique display feature.
Height: 15"/38 cm
This rare collectible comes complete with its original box and official certificates, all in excellent condition. A truly special piece for collectors and Steiff enthusiasts alike, Fritzle the Rabbit is a remarkable find, especially in such superb condition.
