Antique Teddy Bear

 

 

This bear was purchased at an auction house some time ago. It was sold as a ‘Steiff’ bear, however I can not be 100% sure.

 

 

Research has confirmed to me that he is old but to be honest, confused me in regards to the manufacturer.

 

 

I am selling another bear, for which I listed ‘facts’. I have done the same here:

 

 

Facts:

 

Hump: He does not have a large hump.

 

 

Limbs: Arms, legs and feet are all exaggerated. Paws are curving upwards.

 

 

Nose: Long snout like nose with black hand stitched detailing

 

 

Joints: 5 joints with wooden discs. No metal rods. 

 

 

Stuffing: Wood wool. Crunchy feel. 

 

 

Fabric: Mohair. Thinning in spots but overall, pretty good. 

 

 

Pads: Unsure if they are felt or brushed cotton. 

 

 

Seam: Machine sewn with a 7 inch hand stitched seam on his back. 

 

 

Condition:

 

 

Sadly missing 1 eye and both ears

 

 

Mohair is thinning in places but good condition overall (quite thick in places)

 

 

Construction is solid. Right hip seam is a little loose.
