Vintage Steiff HTF Wooden Birdhouse & Original Bird @1961 All ID 8cm

Description

For your consideration: Vintage Steiff Wooden Birdhouse & Original Bird @1961 8cm, or 3"T
I think every collection should have at least one of the great old Steiff wooden toys. Only made in 1961 & then
briefly again from 1966-1967, it is a duplicate in my collection (pic #3). It is
shellacked, wooden made (dove tailed) with a flat bottom
for sitting on a shelf & a hanger on the top for hanging. The perch has remnants of glue, which I've not attempted to remove &
also, a bit of "schmutz" on the bottom, which May come off with some Murphy's Oil Soap, if it bothers you. The little bird is
original to this house & is woolen made with a swivel head, a felt beak & tail & plastic feet...one toe is missing, but has no effect
on how he stands. He still wears his skinny Raised script button, with just a piece of flag attached. If it was included, his ean
would be #6504,43. The birdhouse has all ID: The Raised script button, with full, legible flag attached. The ean is #7807,40...it can
be found on page 305 in the Sortiment....A personal favorite of mine! Please refer to the pictures as they are integral to my
description.
Good luck with your bids & Thanks kindly for looking.
