‘Teddy Bear’ - A large and early Steiff Teddy Bear, circa 1907, with golden mohair, black boot button eyes, pronounced clipped muzzle, black stitched nose, mouth and claws, swivel head, jointed elongated limbs with felt pads, hump, inoperative growler and FF button in ear - 28in (71cm) high (thinning to top of head, splits to left wrist and left ankle, other slight wear, hand pads recovered and holes to feet pads); an original photograph of the bear and original owner seated in a train carriage - 44?8in (11cm) x 35?8in (9cm) and an original photograph of Vera seated with her family, Teddy Bear and dogs - 5½in (14cm) x 4¼in (11cm) - Provenance - This Steiff Teddy Bear belonged to Vera Caldwell and has spent most of its life near Morar in the West Highlands of Scotland. Vera was born in 1897. She was the daughter of a famous zoologist, who had met her mother in Australia while researching into the duck-billed platypus (he established for the first time that they laid eggs). When she was very young, the family moved to Morar, where Vera had an idyllic childhood, even being taught by her older sisters rather than receiving a formal school education. This old photograph shows her proudly clutching her new bear on a train journey back home in 1907 on the newly-opened West Highland line from Glasgow to Mallaig. After she married in 1916, she lived near Glasgow for some time but spent most summers at Morar, and she returned to live there in 1947 until her death in 1993. The bear always remained a great feature of life in the nursery at her house, and it received enormous attention and special love from her own three children and then from her seven grandchildren, and indeed from her great-grandchildren.
