With working music box. Music Jocko is 35 cm, five-ways jointed, and made from long brown mohair. He has a charming felt face with a white mohair chin, and peach-colored felt hands and feet that have a few stains and spots on them, but no holes. He comes to life with pert, brown and black pupil eyes set into felt eye pockets and a broadly smiling, open mouth. He has a red felt circle on his belly indicating that this is where you press to activate his music box; it is about 80% functional. Music Jocko appeared in the line from 1951 through 1957 in this size only and is based on one of the most beloved and popular items in Steiff’s 1950-era catalog, Jocko the chimp. Condition: As noted. His IDs have been lost to time. In original, good condition.
Item Dimensions: 11-1/2'' L.
