The Elusive Rabbits or Hippity-Hop Rabbits was invented by The Great Norman (Norman Hazeldene) c. 1947. Norman sold the rights to Harry Stanley when Harry was in partnership with Jack Hughes and Arthur Dowler and they released the first version in early 1947. The effect was a big success.
Davenport’s released their first version c. 1958 when they were located at New Oxford Street. This version is probably the same design as their first version but the instructions say Charing Cross Underground which is where they moved to c. 1962.
This is a good sized version with a simple clear design and bright colors. I found the release for the climax a little stiffer than I would like but after adding some lube it became much easier, though this would not be my first choice for this prop. However, they do work fine and are in great condition for their age and would look perfect in your collection.
