HUGE
Arco German Shepherd Dog

This Vintage sweet, (smiling?!) dog is a huge, impressive
30”
reclining-lying on his side-
1950’s
version of Arco the
German Shepherd
. He is quite firmly stuffed covered in soft, smooth mohair. Some of it is longer-fluffier (tail, sides of face -chest)while others are more dense just like real German Shepherds.  Colors are still bright/drk intense-do not appear to be faded.
He also has wonderful added airbrushed details, black stitched claws (toes visible on back feet) and vertical stitched nose.
His open mouth is lined in a peachy pink -felt?
With a scalloped gum edge and a
cute felt tongue
which helps to give him his friendly look.
His expressive doggy eyes are large warm amber with black pupils.
This vintage collectible STEIFF plush dog has all the quality details that make Steiff so appealing and desirable.
He looks friendly and alert and is ready to be your new pal and pet! He is holding his head up well
He is 22” body + 11” tail. Combined length is 30” or so
. He has a red collar which looks original
. In some of his pictures-eg. the back -he looks alive.
