He is all original, with his boot button eyes, nose and mouth stitching completely intact, his claw stitching (four on each paw) and his paw pads which have had a few repairs over the years. He has a darling innocent expression. There are no odors or dry rot. He is in good condition for his age. He retains about 60-70% of his soft, caramel mohair, some thinning on his front, his muzzle and mostly on his back, the backs of his arms and one leg. Even so, he is a rare find. Imagine--he is about 104 years old. What stories he would tell us if he could! I have a huge collection and he is one of the only ones of this age totally intact. Please ask all questions prior to auction end, as I do not offer returns on antique bears. Please contact me within 24 hours of auction close. Payment to be received in 7 days or I reserve the right to re-list. Buyer will pay shipping. Thank you for viewing my auction and good luck if you are bidding. This teddy would be a wonderful addition to any Steiff or antique bear collection. Place a Bid!
