This is for the ANTIQUE STEIFF BEAR that you can see in the images. I don't know an awful lot about antique Steiff bears, but I have taken advice and I am reliably informed that he is a rare centre seam bear, dating to c 1907 - he has a STEIFF FF button in his left ear and measures about 20" tall (not less). He has boot button eyes and his mohair which has probably faded over the years is a light gold colour. He seems to have quite a good covering of fur for his age. He is an appealing old bear who really needs to go to someone who will sympathetically restore him as he has a number of problem areas - I have attepted to cover all of these in the images, but if you need more specific information or close up images please contact me in the normal way. WE WILL NOT END THIS LISTING EARLY TO SELL HIM - PLEASE DO NOT ASK - IT IS AGAINST EBAY RULES WHICH WE VIGOROUSLY UPHOLD.
