The little Foxy all dressed up (I believe his name was Sparky) is a fabulous and very rare collectible both for Ginny and Steiff fans. Because the accessories for Sparky tended to go missing over the years with play - in combination with this product's limited years of production - a mint Steiff Sparky is a fabulous find indeed. A few years ago, Steiff and the new owners of Ginny (the wonderful Smith family) discussed bringing back a Steiff/Ginny collector's limited edition, but costs made the project impossible at the time.

The terrier is Ginny's pup and is much sought after if it still has its Steiff metal tag and yellow flag. It was made in the mid 1950's and also for only a short couple of years. Vogue made a red plaid vinyl dog coat with embossed name of Ginnys pup. It also had the pink ribbon with a bell. Foxy can also be seen on the cover of the only book made for Ginny called Ginnys First Secret. Nancy, Nancy's Dolls & Antiques, a Go Antiques member.

Both are appreciated! If you send a few photos to steifflife@gmail.com and a brief description of the item, I would be happy to try and determine if indeed your collectible was indeed made by Steiff.

I bought one that looked like it could be but it is missing the button. I'd appreciate any information I can get. Thank you. How do you know for sure if you have a Steiff?
