Margarete Steiff’s 175th Birthday Celebration Teddy Bear

These are my attributes

The story of Margarete Steiff seems almost like a fairy tale - complete with a ‘happily ever after‘ ending -- as her small business grew to become the world’s most famous soft toy company. Margarete was born in 1847. At 18 months old, she contracted polio, and was to spend her life in a wheelchair. When this remarkable woman became a skilled seamstress, little did she know she was building an international firm that would thrive for more than 140 years. Celebrate Margarete Steiff’s 175th birthday with this elegant Teddy bear. She wears a double tied bow with a cameo-style pendant featuring the company logo of 1897. Margarete’s signature and date of birth are detailed on her paw pads.
