There is that. :chicken::chicken::shame::shame:
That's surely the original. This is probably some sort of museum replica.
WWII souvenir maybe? Some GI may have found it laying around somewhere and decided to take it home.
If that's authentic, I'd offer to take it to auction and split the proceeds! Wowza!
I've seen similar. Agreed - not particularly old. The cheetah will find a human to love it; cats sell.

I'd probably go at it with cotton quilting thread, or pull a hair out of my brush and use that. It looks like it's all there and I'm used to...
We can't see a darned thing. If you're on a phone: Send the photo to yourself as an email and set size to Medium. Save the emailed version and...
