Description

Here comes a very sweet vintage Steiff Original Teddy Bear (so the official name), with Steiff IDs; the old silver script button and yellow label (5325,02) sit in the bearu2019s left ear.
Our cute small bear measures 25 cm / 10 inches tall overall, and 19 cm / 7 u00bd inches sitting.
Steiff produced this very last edition in this size from 1965 to 1966.
(Steiff OTBu2019s of this size and in this colour were produced from 1951 to 1966 in 3 different editions after WWII.)

Vintage Steiff bear is in admirable condition!
This bear is so beautifully balanced, that it can stand alone without any aid as you can see in the photographs.
This vintage teddy is made of caramel (this is the official Steiff name for the colour) mohair, I would call it a warm grey. The mohair is 99% present, only around the nose some hair is loved off.
The firm excelsior stuffing is as firm as it was decades ago.
Vintage Steiff teddy has his original plastic eyes. (All editions before this last one would have had glass eyes.)
Nose, mouth, and all (4) claw stitches are original and present. The claws are not easily to be seen in the photos, they hide in the mohair, but they are all there!
The squeaker in the old bearu2019s belly does not work anymore.
The felt paw pads are fine!
The light pink satin bow was added by me.

All in all, this is a very cute old Steiff bear in a rare size, very loveable, and would make a splendid vintage gift to yourself, a Steiff collector, or any arctophile!

*Please, be aware this listing is for the small caramel coloured Steiff teddy bear as shown ONLY ? the other bears you see in the last photograph and in the video will NOT come with the old bear listed here, but they are all available in our store as well!
