Lovely vintage Steiff 1950s to 1960s “Coco” baboon stuffed toy, made in Germany

Here we have a lovely vintage Steiff “Coco” baboon stuffed toy, made in Germany circa 1950s to 1960s.

Steiff needs little to no introduction as the world’s premier teddy bear and stuffed toy maker. With its origins dating to 1880, it remains the best known luxury toymaker.

Beautifully made with glass eyes, hand-air brushed details to the face and body and hand stitched features which make each Steiff piece of this period unique. Other charming details include Coco’s red felt bottom and a little red collar from which hangs its chest tag.

This charming “Coco” toy features the iconic Steiff ear button, here with the raised script variation. In conjunction with the style of its original ear and chest tag, these features date this to the 1950s up to 1969. Vintage Steiff toys are rarely found with all original tags, particularly the chest tag, making these particularly collectible. As seen here, the monkey’s tag bears the name “Coco” and the serial number 131400.

Price marked at $250 AUD.

Measurements: 18cm length, 14cm high, 6.5cm across shoulders.

Very good to excellent vintage condition with light wear and darkening commensurate with age.
