Teddy Bear
1906-1910 (manufactured)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This teddy has the classic features of a German bear. It has long limbs, a pointy muzzle and a hump on the back. There are no distinguishing marks so we do not know who made it but it was probably either Steiff or Bing. The bear has been well looked after but also well loved. There is a worn patch of plush on its nose and the stuffing in the middle has become loose.
