Vintage Gund Monkey
Gund Monkey with the old rabbit-faced "G" Gund label- which started in 1948. His label lists manufacture city as NY. Gund moved from NY to NJ in the early 70's. This older label suggests he was made in the 50's or 60's.
He is made of black curly plush with an expressive rubber face and felt ears, hands and feet. He is in terrific condition for his age.He has one felt hand which is torn awayfrom
the arm alittle bit. His ears are just a tiny bit torn away from
his face- pictures show this. I don't believe his
appearance is hampered by these small signs of wear.
