VINTAGE CIRCA 1960 LARGE SOFT TOY KOALA AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIANA MAMMAL aud sold
VINTAGE SOFT TOY
AUSTRALIANA KOALA
CIRCA 1960
34cm TALL
When we were little in the 1960's we all had a soft toy to take to bed and one was usually a Koala.
In those days we all called them a "Koala bear" but they are not a bear. The Koala is a much loved Australian protected animal (marsupial) and it is always a joy to see one in the wild or in our Zoo's.
He seems to have been made with real fur perhaps Kangaroo/rabbit as it is very soft to touch. He has the small glass orange eyes (2) like a teddy bear, rubber nose, and 3 rubber paws. He has one paw missing.
He does show a little wear to his fur coat near the paws.
These does not detract from him but told for accuracy.
