Manufacturer: Steiff/Made in Germany
This vintage Mohair Steiff Gaty Crocodile Hand Puppet was made in the beginning of the 1950's and the beginning of the 1970's.
The first commercial concern to create stuffed toys is apparently the Steiff company, founded in 1880 in Giengen an der Brenz, Germany. It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later assisted by her brother Fritz. Their nephew Richard joined in 1897, who gave the company an enormous boost in popularity by creating the teddy bear in 1902. In 1907, Steiff manufactured 974,000 bears, and has been increasing its output ever since.
He still has his tag on his chest and is marked: Steiff-Original-Marke....Gaty. On the back of the tag it is marked: Mottenecht Durch/Eulan/Bayer/Leverkusen. He also has his yellow tag and button at the opening and is number #317. You can see in the pictures this is in very good condition for it's age and he measures 8 1/2 inches tall and 10 1/2 inches wide. A wonderful addition to any Steiff or Hand Puppet Collection.
