2014 North American Exclusive Limited Editions US/UK Exclusive Grand Old Bear EAN 682728 Mohair, 20 inches 5-way jointed with growler LED of 1,000 US/UK A decade ago, a Steiff retailer arrived at her shop to find a large vintage Teddy sitting at the front door. It was accompanied by a note which explained that the original owner was no longer able to care for the beloved bear, “I know you’ll find him a good home,” read the note. It was this touching story that inspired us to create our “Grand Old Bear” – a recreation of the Teddy left on the doorstep. For extra authenticity, our artisans have airbrushed subtle signs of age on his snout and paw pads. “Grand Old Bear” captures all the charm and appeal of the original while keeping his heartwarming history alive for generations to come. North American Exclusive Silk Teddy Baby EAN 682698 Silk plush, 12 inches 5-way jointed with squeaker LED of 1,500 pieces No Steiff collection would be complete without a classic Teddy Baby. For 2014, we’re pleased to present a version of this enduring design that hasn’t been seen since 1948! After WWII, mohair was in short supply in Germany, requiring Steiff to use alternative materials. That’s when Silk Teddy Baby was born. Instead of mohair, the coat of our reproduction is a rich, golden silk-milled especially to match the color and texture of the post-war original. He wears a genuine leather collar that finished with an antiqued brass bell. Even his chest tag has been re-created to match the 1948 design. This is your chance to own a truly unique piece of Steiff history. North American Exclusive Pansy, Springtime Teddy EAN 682773 Alpaca, 12 inches 5 way jointed LED of 1,500 pieces American pioneers believed that bringing a bouquet of pansies into the farmhouse each Spring would assure a year of prosperity . Our “Pansy Springtime Teddy” is sure to bring you both good fortune and happiness. Pansy wears a lovely corsage of two wool felt pansy blossoms, each carefully hand painted and finished with a pearl. Her soft coat is made from highest quality cream-colored alpaca. As the perfect finishing touch, we’ve tied a delicate pink organza ribbon around her neck. With so much to love, you’ll want to celebrate Springtime every day of the year with our Pansy Teddy bear.

North American Exclusive Butch The Cover Dog EAN 682759 Mohair, 8 inches Head jointed LED of 1,500 pieces In the 1940’s The Saturday Evening Post introduced a character that would capture the hearts of the nation – a black and white cocker spaniel named “Butch.” Created by artist Albert Staehle, Butch appeared on the magazine’s cover more than two dozen times.
