I can't find anything about a lion plush from Knickerbocker. I've seen lots of other toys with this label but no lion.

By the label this lion would date too

Circa 1960 - 1965    Origin NY NY

This tag was used during this period and changed after 1965 when the knickerbocker company relocated from New York to Middlesex New Jersy ...

Estimated value $30 - $50 US in right market.

Thanks for sharing .... very cool ..
