It turns out there wasn't even one photo of a rabbit among Gwulo's 30,000+ photos, so I went looking through the old trademark applications to see what I could find.

The one shown above is half of a pair from 1932, belonging to Batten & Co.:

Rabbit Brand

Trivia:  

Although the Chinese hare is found in Guangdong, Hong Kong does not have any wild hares or rabbits.
