Irresistible min leopard min from Wagner West Germany has sticker on bottom. All the flock seems to be on him and he has whiskers and painted eyes ears. These guys are remarkable, and a shame not made anymore. I bought everyone I could find and now I am trying to sell some.

Each animal was made by hand from a paper-and-clay-based composition "blank," then covered, or flocked, with cotton fibers. Color was applied next, using nontoxic paints. Fine details such as claws, nostrils, eyebrows, spots, and the ever-present smile were also handpainted.Last of all, trimmings such as plastic horns, saddles, and the like were glued in place. Some species even had clothes made for them. This careful process produced about 400,000 animals every year
The Wagner Handwork Company got its start in the late 1940slittle animals were made. Sadly, the firm shut down in 1998 with the retirement of the family and later moved away from its historic location.
