***I recently purchased 18 old bears, most obviously antique, at an estate sale where over 150 bears were available. The auction advertised her as a Steiff collector. Most of the vintage bears had Steiff buttons but only two of the antique bears did. They were very dusty, some downright dirty.
I researched how to properly clean them and have been pleased with the results.
Of the ones I purchased none were marked. Some quite likely could be Steiff, the majority most likely German. I will leave it to you to determine. If anyone has knowledge on particular bears I list I would very much appreciate guidance.
Please see all photos to judge condition for yourself and ask if you have any questions or need additional pictures. I am always happy to combine ship if you purchase more than one of my items.
