Vintage RUBBER FACE BUNNY RABBIT PLUSH Happy Face Rushton My Toy Co

Description

This is a truly loved rubber faced doll from the 1950's or earlier.   It has yellow plush fur.  There are a few minor bald spots throughout the body.    (Sounds much worse than it is, and it's difficult to catch with a camera.  It's more obvious around the top of the pom pom tail than anywhere else.  Please look closely at photos by magnifying them).
This little bunny has pink ears.  Its face paint is quite good.  There are a couple minor scratches and the blush on the cheeks is sort of blotchy.  Most of the "My Toy" hang tag is still in place, as shown, but is faded.  This little friend could use a nice cleaning, but I'm not expert enough to do it and am afraid of causing more damage than good.  The rubber face also would benefit from careful cleaning by someone who knows what they are doing.
What a cute little white pom-pom tail she has!  Wear is consistent with age for a toy from this period that has received a lot of loving from its original owner.  I believe this little bunny would display lovely in someone's collection and is well worth preserving.  (Pink ribbon was added and is not original to the bunny.)
I ship USPS Priority Mail, fully insured, with signature confirmation.  Although, it costs me more to do this, it is the safest way to make sure the item gets directly into your hands.  I pay shipping as it is included in the sales price.
