Description

21" (53 cm.) Having felt face with long wolf snout, painted freckles and evil smile with teeth, the wolf has brown inset eyes, red felt tongue, white felt three-fingered hands, and white felt shirt front with applied diamond stud and bow tie, and felt boots with white felt spats; the remainder of his body is curly black mohair. Maker unknown, the wolf was likely inspired by Disney's Three Little Pigs, and is definitely commercially made. Circa 1940's.
