Holland Hall Rabbit Squeak Toy 1960s Vinyl Easter Bunny Cream Tan Pink Molded Fur Mid Century

This is a 1960s Holland Hall rabbit squeak toy in molded vinyl, about 7.5 inches tall, with a cream and golden tan body airbrushed in reddish pink.

The vinyl is solid with no chew bites, no scuffs, and no discoloration, the airbrushed pink still runs bright across the chest, tummy, paws, ears, and tail, and the metal squeaker set into the base does not work and makes no sound when the body is pressed.

Holland Hall Products made molded vinyl squeak toys through the 1960s, and the oversized cartoon face with one ear folded at the tip is the style collectors mean by mid century kitsch. A rabbit like this one sits at home in an Easter display, on a nursery shelf, or alongside a row of vintage rubber toys.
