Description

This charming vintage Steiff Soft Bear Orsi still has its Steiff silver script button in its left ear and was produced 1952 to 1962 only. It is a rare find! Steiff Orsi has a laughing open felt mouth, his head and arms are jointed, but not his legs, so he can only sit; in the Steiff textbook by G. Pfeiffer this pose is described as u2018beggingu2019.
Steiff Orsi Bear measures 22 cm / 8 u00be inches sitting.

Teddy bear has glass eyes, long bent arms with paws pointing down like the classical teddy baby shape, caramel coloured mohair of the highest quality, vertically stitched nose (one stitch on the left missing), a complete set of four claws on hands and feet, felt paws (right foot felt a little bit thinned), and is stuffed with a mixture of wood wool (excelsior) and kapok. The lower part of the felt mouth has a bit of a stain, I presume the old bear has been munching something!

Sadly, the squeaker in the bearu2019s belly does not work anymore. Originally this sweet sitting bear would have had a light blue felt bib, but it is missing. The velvet bow was added by me.
All in all, this rare vintage Steiff bear is in very good condition!
