Adorable and well loved pre- WWI Steiff teddy ( ear button long gone ) recently purchased for the family of the original owner, this bear may at first glance appear to be beige mohair, but upon closer examination one can ascertain that he was originally a white bear as evidenced by the brown nose and claw stitching. He has the " shoe button " eyes, is jointed at the neck , shoulders, and hips, has the original felt paw pads on the bottom feet ( a few typical moth holes ), and due to his age and size ( 8 1/2" , 21.5cm ) has no felt pads on the front feet as was typical of these smaller Steiff bears from this era. As one can see, he has some overall mohair loss, and a burn-like mark on back of his upper left arm, but considering his age, that he is an early white Steiff bear, and the lovability factor, he is still reasonably priced at...................RESERVED
