Painted eyes, ball neck, leather ears

This tiger was a transition style between the glass eyes and the painted eyes. Its head design, except for the painted eyes, is the same as the GE tiger. This is most likely the rarest of all of the tigers. Keller Style II - Very Rare

Painted eyes, molded ears

Painted eyes, open mouth

This tiger's head was probably molded, then the mouth was cut out. Its tail is cord. The neck is fixed to the head. This style was introduced in about 1918.

Reduced size, open mouth

The reduced size tiger style closely followed the regular size painted eyes, open mouth.

Reduced size, closed mouth

Closing the mouth may have been a cost reduction measure. The head was completely redesigned and the stripe pattern changed. The body color was changed to a deeper orange.
