This SylvaC bunny sat on the mantelshelf of the fireplace in Mum and Dad’s bedroom. Having had enough of hospital hospitality when GB was born Mum decided to have me at home – despite dire warnings from the health professionals about all the risks involved. Once she set her mind on something Mum would not easily be shifted!
I don’t know if bunny was turned to face the wall or whether she watched the whole grisly process but she was certainly there!
SylvaC bunnies were produced from the 1930s to the 1970s and fakes continue to be introduced to the market to this day.
The original bunnies were produced in a variety of colours and sizes. The catalogue shows Mum’s to have been the smallest of those produced and it sold (wholesale) for three shillings a dozen – i.e. three old pence each.
