Help w/ Mohair Deer
Jul 3, 2012 04:09 PM

I got this deer a while back and have been very curious as to who made it. It is made with mohair and has a wire armature inside it, but I don't know what it is stuffed with. I know there is wire inside it because there is a little piece that is sticking out of one of the legs. I am grateful to anyone who can help me ID this cute little deer. TIA!!

Might be Kamar or other Japanese maker.  Nothing really jumps out to help other than airbrushing which Kamar used.

I think you're onto something, Bethy. He has a lot of similarity to pre-WWII Steiff deer, but if he was German he would have pointy feet and a pointy nose, his ears would stick out side ways and they would be very white inside. The Japanese critters of the 50s and 60s were highly imitative and I would not be surprised at all if he is Japanese.
