Lot Description
GOREY, Edward (1925-2000). Beanbag Animals. Cats. [Middle Falls, NY: Toy Works], 1978.
Cloth dolls, filled with rice, each approximately 6 1/2-in. tall. Cats in different color shirts: lavender and gray striped, yellow and brown striped, and blue and green striped.
The first beanbag animals were manufactured by Toy Works, including a pig, a frog, at least three different colored cats, and a bat. The bats remained in production for many years and are therefore inexpensive, but "the others are rare" (Toledano p.156).
