Interesting and cute story about this little guy below. He is made of paper Mache covered in mohair and is quite the nice addition to any rabbit collection.

A number of years ago when I went home to Ohio there was a auction in a small town....... small town of about 1000 or less. There were two twin sisters whose father owned a dry goods store in town in the early part of the 1900's. If I remember now neither sister ever married...... their father built them each a home next to each other identical..... in every way identical. My sister and I attended the first sale but alas could not attend the sale the next day. It was nothing short of fabulous (that is if you like old things). I purchased quite a few items including some wonderful children's playthings..... this bunny
was included in the auction but I didn't purchase. By the time he was auctioned I was feeling the pain of spending too much even though I dearly wanted him. I dropped out at an unreasonable price and watched him for the next couple of years in the dealers booth. Then one year when I went home I felt "richer" and decided he needed to be with his companions ~ the china doll and the teddy bear. Everyone feels quite whole again!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know what they say about rabbits.............. :)
