Here we have a classic Steiff bear cub from the first decade of the twentieth century. This bear is five ways jointed, excelsior and softly stuffed and made from white mohair - which has mellowed to a vanilla color over time. He has black shoe button eyes, a brown stitched nose and mouth and four brown claws on each of his hands and feet. His paw pads are made from light tan felt and a re entirely original. He has long arms with curved wrists, long narrow feet, a back hump and the proportions of a classic century plus old Steiff bear. He retains his small "long trailing F" Steiff button as his ID. Size: about 12" or 30 cm tall. Condition: As noted. Nonworking squeaker in belly. Limb and torso stuffing has dried out and separated in places. With a 1 cm sized tear in the fabric near just above the right ankle near the leg seams. Mohair has light surface dust but is in nice shape with minimal thinning. This bear is a top candidate for light restoration work and would clean up extremely nicely. In good condition overall. Description by Rebekah Kaufman. 12 -1/2" L.
