<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Pferdeort, post: 369268, member: 5630&quot;]Hello fellow antiquers![ATTACH=full]126700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I just acquired an amazing vintage/antique toy. It is a beautiful and unique tiger nodder!</p><p><br /></p><p>The toy appears to be paper mache with a soft texture (not flocked). I know of a putzz elephant with the same texture and in my research I found cotton was used with the paper mache. I&#039;m not sure about this - if anyone has any knowledge on the technique used to create a soft, hide-like fur on top of paper mache please share. That might be a clue to help figure out more about the tiger.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the eyes are glass but I&#039;ve never been too good at judging eye material.</p><p><br /></p><p>The tiger is holding some sort of critter in its mouth (sheep?)</p><p><br /></p><p>The nodder is 5&quot; long.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure whether the tail was added or if it is original. It is a painted spring and it is about 7&quot; long. The painton the tail matches the color of the hide very well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoyed this tiger!</p><p>I&#039;m currently researching the toy if anyone would care to join the hunt!</p><p>Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Jason</p><p>[ATTACH]126700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]126707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]126708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]126709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]126710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
