This is such an amazing historical piece and I hate to part with it. It was my great grandfathers. It was his first toy ever and it\'s been in our family handed down for many many years. The only reason I\'m selling is to help my mom with her extensive medical expenses due to cancer. Please read.
This is a 1908 Steiff 23\" Mohair teddy bear. One of the FIRST to be made with glass eyes. They switched from boot button to glass eyes in 1908. Wire can faintly be seen behind eyes where it is attached.
Bear is straw wood filled. I am not going to edit pictures or portray him as perfect. He is balding in some areas and pictures are untouched as is. There ARE NO HOLES OR TEARS!!!!
Right foot one \"paw\" needs to be restitched.
The Steiff button is gone from his left ear but there is the spot where it was included in the pictures.
Wool pads on feet and hands. It does look like the top right arm was restitched which lines up with what my grandmother says. It was her Dad\'s bear. Picture included.
Prominent hump in the back.
A VERY faint low growl can be heard from its growler box.
