A Rare Farnell WWI Soldier Cat

This is an absolutely scrumptious WWI Farnell Soldier Cat. These are so rare to find. I have only had 3 in many years of selling! This one is a real character and very cute!

The three Farnell black cats I have had were always a sparce mohair showing the base material. Don`t forget this is a tiny little guy - so in "real life" he would not appear as sparce as the photo below which is large and in closeup! He has the usual wire jointed construction, which is sound but he prefers to sit and stand without being played with too much due to his advanced years and war history... To protect him for generations to come, he wears a wonderful knitted pair of rust coloured wool dungarees and toning cream and rust pattern trim jumper. These are both removeable if you want him "in the fur". He is the usual size and measures around 3.5 inches or so. Remarkably he still has his little felt ears! What stories this little bear could tell I am sure.... If you are interested in him, please do not delay in contacting me as it will no doubt be a very long time before I could find you another Farnell Soldier Cat.
