Summary
A toy rabbit from the 'Old Bear and Friends' stories by Jane Hissey, and his name is Rabbit. Rabbit's artificial fur is of a light brown and a 'bobbly' texture. His arms are uneven in length and height and at the back of his right shoulder is a slight hump. Rabbit has two plastic eyes coloured orange and black and a thin stitched on nose with black thread. He has two long rabbit ears. Around his neck he is wearing a long green scarf made from wool which has tied tassels at each end. The scarf has been attached with green cotton to the back of his neck. On his left side is the label which says on the front 'Jane Hissey's, Old Bear and Friends, Rabbit'. On Rabbit's back he has a round bobble tail. Rabbit's feet are big.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr David Hall in 2010. From a collection of soft toys collected by the donor's late wife Jane between 1975 - 2005.
