Steiff, the legendary German plush toy company, is famous for its artistry, beauty and lasting quality. They produced incredible stuffed animals of every type, including super fun hand puppets, like the iconic Teddy Bear. Its endearing expression with glass eyes is adorable. And this puppet is special because it retains a Steiff button with block letters, an indication of an early model produced in Germany between 1936-50s. Teddy has a hand-stitched nose, an open felt mouth and two big paws that are ready for a hug. It uses the finest mohair plush and its head is filled with excelsior (wood wool) and has a cardboard finger tube for movement. He has been loved and has small holes on the paws and felt mouth. But still full of personality and vintage charm! Everyone's favorite Teddy Bear can't wait to make a new home in your toy collection!
