Those whiskers

This fabulous Czechoslovakian wooden "ramp walker" toy was a souvenir from "A Century of Progress

whose full name I know from a pile of old school penmanship exercises

There's a bit of damage/irregularity to the wire mesh at the tip of the nose

Cheerful Old Stuffed Cotton Piecework Ball uli schoop art Those whiskersThis ball just appeals to me as a cheerful thing, which could function as a large pin cushion, or just a ball to throw or roll around, or an colorful object to set somewhere, perhaps one amid a stack or pile of others. Good weight cotton fabric held together with white thread and, happily, not quite round! 6 diameter x 4 1 4 t and in good shape, with a few stains toning vision on the white of the striped fabric. Tight seams and fully stuffed.
