NINE-PIECE STEIFF FELT RABBIT SKITTLE SET ON WOODEN PLINTHS.
It is unusual to find an early turn of last century skittle set in such fine and complete condition. The set consists of eight tan felt begging rabbits on wooden skittles and one rabbit king pin dressed in a red felt top coat and crown. All rabbits are unjointed, have pink felt-lined ears, black shoebutton eyes, and a simple hand-embroidered pink nose and mouth. All are mounted on wooden plinths with the king pin on a slightly higher platform. With a green and pink felt skittle ball. All the rabbit skittles and the king pin retain their tiny trailing ""F"" Steiff buttons. This set was produced from 1892-1912. The American version had 10 skittles while the European version had 9. SIZE: Tallest is 10"" (25cm). PROVENANCE: Chuck & Cathy Steffes Collection. CONDITION: Several wooden plinths with extremely small marks and dings from playwear. A few rabbits with very small holes in felt, very minor foxing, and dust. Otherwise in very good condition given the age and gaming nature of this extraordinary set. 1-13800
