Steiff Original Teddy Bear 5318

Item:         Steiff Original Teddy Bear 5318
Origin:      Germany, c. 1950

Wow – this superb little teddy is perfectly charming. A light tan colour, he retains his raised script button in ear, chest pendant, original bow and the remnant of his 5318 yellow ID tag.

This Original Teddy has a sweet, sweet expression and stands approximately 7 inches (17.5 cm) tall. He is mohair and five-ways jointed, has glass eyes and a black stitched nose.

Condition:
Although he has lost his yellow label over the years, this teddy really is about as good as they get. At 65 years of age, this little guy has just the faintest traces of soiling to felt pads, and slight thinning above left ear (where yellow tag would have been), but otherwise is superb. A perfect cabinet-sized collectable Steiff bear.
