This is a rare TEDDY ROSE Baer made by Steiff, Germany in 1987. The Bear measures 41 cm and comes with its Steiff belly tag, its gold-plated button and white label in its ear, which carries the low Limited Edition Number of 421 of 10, 000. In addition to the Bear's particular color, this Bear is considered even more rare because of its center seam. In order to utilize every bit of precious mohair material (70% wool, 30% cotton), the small portion of fabric remaining along the edge of t...he bolt was used by cutting the head pattern into two sections rather than one. Therefore, only every twenty-sixth Bear had a center seam. This adorable TEDDY ROSE is made by hand with loving care. It is in excellent, new condition, has only been stored, and not been used as a toy. This rare find would make a great addition to any serious collector.
