1935? Tortoise and hare rug.  25½" x 58".  $19.99 from PAW Enterprises, Monroe, MI, through Ebay, June, '00.

The rug pictures the hare showing off as a hitter while a female hare looks on.  The tortoise is presumably pitching to the hare.  The motif is vintage Disney, as checking The Tortoise and the Hare<//u> or Toby Tortoise and the Hare<//u> (both 1935) will show.  The reverse side shows the attempt to repair a tear or hole near the center of the rug.  I never thought I would be listing a rug in this catalogue!
