      Thanks Manikin, she's a cute little cat with nice charecter. I'm thinking 1920s, what do you think?

      She is gorgeous. What lovely eyes she has!

      Wow! It looks like you have Steiff's Fluffy cat. According to Steiffgal's blog (http://mysteifflife.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-purr-fect-example-of-1920s-era-steiff.html), she was made from 1926-1950. She has the turquoise-green eyes and red embroidered claw stitching mentioned in the blog, and certainly looks like the same one. A Google image search brings up several that look like yours, including one that, in a Christie's auction in 2010 (a 1930 model in perfect condition with all IDs), went for $2968. If that's a remnant of a red ear tag--which it looks like in the photo--along with the "long trailing F" button, it's likely your cat was made somewhere between 1926 and 1935. It seems she's quite old, quite rare--and I'm quite envious! Take good care of her!
