Up for auction is a beautiful 1905 antique original blonde mohair 5-way jointed Steiff Teddy Bear in excellent condition. This charming fellow is identified as being made in 1905 because of the blank button in his left ear. Everything on him is original with no prior repairs. He retains about 98% of his original mohair with very minimal loss from age. His left felt paw pad has a small hole and his left foot has a couple very very tiny holes, barely noticeable. It only adds to his charm as an antique teddy. He appears to retain all of his original stuffing which is settled nicely inside him in different places. The stuffing in his left arm near the shoulder is a little looser, but not a problem for him. The stitching for his nose, mouth and claws are original and beautifully intact. He has both of his original black shoe button eyes. He’s been taken care of nicely all these years and he looks amazing for a chap that is 119 years old! He really is a nice bear with a great face. He would make an excellent addition to any Teddy Bear collection. Happy Bidding!
