Featured WOOD RABBIT PULL TOY ANTIQUE OR NEW

I found this at a thrift store & I think it's old but I'm not sure - is there a way to tell?
Is it hand made (I googles bunny rabbit pull toy & couldn't find another like it)?
Cute right?
Thank you!

 

I suspect this is a homemade toy but don't think it very old (certainly not 100 years, more like 30 or 40 maybe less.) The wheels have very little wear, the paint on the bunny too.

What is the pull made of?

 

Definitely homemade. Lawn/garden ornament affixed to scrap-wood plank.

 

it's some kind of string/thread - it's soft.

 

If the whole thing is wood, I wouldn't be surprised if this was something from an art or craft fair. Definitely newer would be my guess, as in sometime in the last 30 years. The expression on the rabbit, looking so "innocent, cute" in sort of a modern take on a look.

That said, it probably cost a bit of cash to get it originally as some work went into it. Looks like it might be signed on the base, but not sure you will find a maker.

 

Looks like a new Asian import to me. Here's a similar one.

Debora, It's completely different - wheels have screws + base is fancy cut & painted + eyes are added - mine is as basic as can be.
I believe yours is Asian import but I do think mine is homemade

 

Think the rabbit an Asian import. The base may be home made.

 

HI,
Wait until Davey or Bookatoo comes on you will be GONE!!!!

I'm sorry, but IMHO the eyes are 100% indicative of recent import-market work; possibly has been attached to a home-made base; but I'm sure that is an import rabbit.

 

You say tomato and I say tomato. To my eye, they're very similar. Too funny.
