CLASSIC AND ADORABLE EARLY STEIFF CENTER SEAM TEDDY BEAR WITH BUTTON.

A precious example of what makes Steiff so appealing and endearing to collectors. This circa 1907 teddy is made from beige mohair and is 5-ways jointed. He is soft and hard stuffed. Non-working growler. Teddy has early and beloved Steiff proportions including long arms with spoon shaped paws, pronounced back hump and large narrow feet. Teddy has black hand-embroidered claws. What makes this bear so especially appealing is his face, which is detailed with a shaved muzzle that truly highlights his distinctive center seam construction. He also has black shoebutton eyes and hand-embroidered nose and mouth. Only 1 out of 7 early Steiff bears have a center seam face, making them extremely desirable for collectors. Teddy retains his original small trailing ""F"" style button as his Steiff ID. SIZE: Overall 24"" t (60cm). Sitting 16"" t (40cm). PROVENANCE: Chuck & Cathy Steffes Collection. CONDITION: Right paw pad professionally restored, additional very small holes on paw pads. Very light playwear. Otherwise very good. 1-13831
