Although Margarete Steiff opened her sewing business since 1902, the company was not registered as "GmbH," (the U.S. equivalent of becoming incorporated) until 1906. From this landmark year comes a very precise, detailed, and authentic replica. He is made from specially dyed mohair from Steiff-Schulte, which was carefully reproduced to match the archival original. He has hand-stitched claws and facial features, along with hand-lathed wooden eyes. He’s stuffed with wood wool, features a squeaker, and has a period-correct "Button in Ear" and tag. This magnificent bear possesses all the the authentic Steiff attributes that collectors desire. He’s sure to be the star of your collection.
