I just love this vintage Steiff Bear- he is uber-cuddly and a great smaller-sized bear, measuring 35 cm in height. He has the EAN number 420245.
He was issued by the Steiff Collector's Club for its members in 2001 and is a limited edition. He replicates an earlier bear that Steiff made back in 1950.
He was made in Germany and is handcrafted from the finest dark brown mohair. He is fully jointed, with brown glass eyes, and beige wool felt pads. He has a hand-stitched nose, mouth, and claws. He is very firm as he is stuffed with wood shavings, as used in traditional early Steiff bears. He has a cute little speaker and it makes a cute growl when squeezed.
He has his original red ribbon tied as a bow on which hangs his Collector's Club medallion.
Of course, he has his Steiff Button in his ear - with his unique edition number 00360. So a low edition number.
He comes with his certificate of authenticity and his original box. The box is has a few dents to the side - and an inscription in black pen on the top - all as photographed.
Mr 1950 Bear is in pristine condition and has always been kept in his box. There is no fading to his fur, the pads are totally clean - he is fresh with no dust etc. Perfectly clean and unplayed with. You won't find one in a nicer condition.
He will be sent to you as a Royal Mail Recorded Medium Parcel. This will cost £6.95 and applied to your order at the checkout.
