What an unusual tiny bunny, Frank, was he intended to be hung from something with the ring on his collar?

Presumably it was a charm or somesuch, they're often called cracker gifts and are quite desirable. Tt seems likely because crackers have been around since 1847. You usually see pug dogs or cats, don't think I've seen a rabbit before

I always suspected a lot of them to be fakes.   :huh:

Edit:  To explain.  They're usually plentiful, usually the same kind of patina, and some people have sold several at one time.  That = suspicious to me.
