Thanks for the info. The reason for my question is , I was wondering at what point in time , this unique bike went up to what it now commands.
As a kid I collected baseball cards of Mantle for 1 cent plus the bubble gum. ( 1952 ). Now I can only afford the repro cards. I was just curious
at what time , it was decided…hey this thing is worth something !!! Just a thought !

If that possum is from the same Steiff that made stuffed bears it could be worth a fair bit. The bears are quite valuable!
