From my personal collection : 2 items for sale in this listing , the STEIFF ox period 1910's and a harness prototype made at the same period. About the ox : there is the tiny button with the mark STEIFF (F underscored), the length is 19 2/3 in (50 cm), the height is 13 3/4 in (35 cm). the ox is fixed on a wooden base. The felt has some little holes here and there (see pics), there is a little part missing on the nose, need to be a little cleaned.
The outfit is very very interesting. It is a harness prototype made certainly for the cows. According to the dealer (the first who has bought it) : it was created by a swiss, period 1910 , Mr KISSLING (a common name in switzerland) of Vevey (there was a school od arts and crafts in Vevey), who was the last 'cordier' of Switzerland (old trade,old job). It is what is written in french under the wooden base.....
If you have some questions or if you want other pics ask me.
