Definitely looks like a close relative of the pair that I have!
That’s a lot more than I would have guessed! Thank you for this.
Okay, did some more searching on taxidermy toys, and found this:...
Wow, yes, I agree. The method of construction, colour and texture of the fur, glass eyes and look of the muzzle are extremely similar. So, a...

Thank you for the replies. I’ve been doing some research and it seems this style of Mickey, with gloves, eyebrows and pie-slice eyes appeared in...
