This is an gorgeous Steiff Giengen Teddy Bear Set, The Birthplace of the Teddy, Replica 1906, #0162/00, purchased in 1984, Set #09197 out of 16,000. Included are two five-way jointed bears, the large sitting one (the Mama Bear) measures 9" tall and the baby bear lying in a wooden cradle measures 3 1/2" tall. Both have blond mohair, hand embroidered nose and mouth, and the brass Steiff button-in-ear. The large bear has the white cloth Steiff ear tag which reads "Steiff 0162/00" on the front and "Made in W. Germany. LTD. ED. 09197" on the back. It also has the blue and gold Giengen paper shield tag attached to its chest which reads "M. Steiff Giengen Teddybär Replica 1906". The large bear has light tan paw pads made of felt.

The lovely detailed background of the box depicts the city of Giengen an der Brenz, the birthplace of the teddy bear. The colors of the city scenery are bright and vibrant. The box has the Certificate of Authenticity in the box with the Limited Edition number showing in a cut out window in the side of the box. The two teddy bears are still attached to the box and have never been removed. The acrylic box lid is in excellent condition - it is clear, has no significant scratches, and all the corners are intact.
