It's All Dogs, All the Time here in the Lucky Penny household. Here's a new item to add to my many dog collectibles. I have a collection of Steiff dogs from the 50's and 60's, the years of my birth and childhood. Not having these as a child, I collect them now as an adult. I remember going to Marshall Field's on State Street with my grandmother, back in the day when they had a toy department (and a yarn and fabric department, too!) a wanting some Steiff toys. This is Mimic Tessie, a schnauzer puppet from 1958 or 1959. I have a few dog puppets, but this is the first one I've seen with legs. I buy my dogs from antique shows, eBay, or a shop near one of my job sites that has antique toys. I love this one--she's so cute!
