History of Steiff:  “The first catalog was released in 1892 with a wide variety of toy animals. Margarete Steiff's motto was also in that catalog -- "for children, only the best is good enough".  In 1897 nephew Richard Steiff joined the company and sketched many of the animals for the line. Five years later he designed the first stuffed bear with moveable arms and legs. After showing the bears at the Leipzig Toy Trade Fair, 3000 bears were ordered by an American buyer. They were sold in the USA as the "teddy bear".  The company was ahead of their time and sought to protect themselves from imitators. The result was the button-in-the-ear trademark.  By1907, after just a few short years of production, 973,999 teddy bears had been made, along with 725,000 other toys!  Even though Margarete Steiff passed away in 1909 from a lung infection, her nephews carried on the business. The company has had several tough times in their history, including the years of World War II, but has persevered. Today the company's products are still among the most revered in the toy market and it's a lucky child who gets a Steiff.”
