This is a pale brown mohair teddy bear, made by Steiff in the early 1970s. The bear is positioned as if lying down with its head facing down. A Steiff tag and button is attached to its left ear to prove its authenticity.
Steiff was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who designed the prototypes herself. However, it did not initially make teddy bears, something it began in 1902, and is now world famous for. The company remains popular to this day and its soft toys are known for their high quality.
