There is no date on the box or tags, but the look of the toy says 1950's or early 1960's. I have never seen a plush toy from that era in this good of shape. The box is a little dented, but is complete and clean. The toy inside is immaculate; showroom new, mint clean with the original tags as if it were purchased new from a toy store today. This toy is of museum display quality. Squeaker also works. About 10 inches long from nose to tail.
