Capture the charm of the forest with this adorable vintage treasure.
This delightful Steiff young wild boar (piglet) is a wonderful example of mid-century German craftsmanship. Produced between the 1950s and 1970s, this miniature collectible captures the playful spirit of the wild in a pocket-sized package.
The piglet is crafted from brown, light-speckled velveteen that has been hand-brushed to mimic the texture of a real boar's coat. He features a character-filled face with distinct felt ears, a felt snout, and tiny black eyes that bring his personality to life. True to traditional Steiff quality, he is firmly stuffed—likely with excelsior (wood wool)—giving him a sturdy, lasting form that has withstood the test of time.
Whether you are a seasoned Steiff collector or simply love vintage woodland toys, this little boar adds a touch of whimsy and history to any display.
