A LARGE EARLY 20TH CENTURY STEIFF TEDDY BEAR, mohair plush, centre seam, pointed snout, swivel head, pronounced humped back, jointed long limbs, black stitched nose and mouth, in the ear a metal 'STEIFF' button, with internal growler (not working) circa 1910. He is 16" high (seated) and 23.5" high (fully stretched) Originally owned by Edna Jackman of New Milton, pictured with him as a two year old in the early 1900s This kind and generous bear was previously sold by Mrs Jackman's husband on behalf of the Oakhaven Hospice in 1992 for £4,600. He is now being sold by the kind purchaser on behalf of the 'Dorset Blind Association' as it is time he found a new home! Probably the most famous of all teddies, the first Steiff bear was created in 1902 by Richard Steiff working for his aunt's toy company in Germany. The basic design with jointed arms and legs has been the template for all Steiff bears since then. In 1903, Richard Steiff took his bear to the Leipzig Toy Fair and there was discovered by an American business man who placed an order for 3,000 bears. They have been called "Teddy Bears" since 1906, after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The trademark Steiff Button in the ear was introduced in 1908 to identify them from cheap imitations.
