This sweet vintage 150th Anniversary bear is made of finest brown mohair. He has a brown hand embroidered nose and claws, brown glass eyes with black pupils, and light beige felt hand and foot pads. The foot pads are flat, making him able to stand. He has a squeaker and is fully jointed. Around his neck, he wears a porcelain medallion attached to a gold satin ribbon. The medallion displays a picture of Margarete Steiff with the words Kindheitsträume leben weiter which translates to childhood dreams live on, and 150 Jahre Margarete Steiff, 1847–1997.
Attached to the bear are the brass button-in-ear red and white tag, and two paper tags. These Anniversary bears were made in white, blond and dark mohair and did not come boxed. A must-have for any Steiff or teddy bear collector!
In excellent condition. Purchased from the original owner who kept it in a display case.
Measures 11 inches or 28cm tall
