Item Details

Description

A gentle, 12" American bear mirrors many of the qualities of early Steiffs. Circa 1907. The mohair bear is five-way jointed with a stitched nose that has faded from black to dark brown, shoe button eyes and a working squeaker. His elongated snout and winsome expression add to the charm of this early example of American bear-making. Very fine plus. Condition: Dimensions: 12" T.
