Hello Brandy,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, brand and the colours, I concluded that this is a Vintage Steiff Brand Teddy Bear. Steiff is considered as one of the most important teddy bear brands, which most examples are know collectibles. This piece dates back to the period from 1947 to 1955. The pieces were almost always comes with a metal tag to the ear with a Steiff writing. This metal tag was not used during the WWII and couple of following years due to metal shortage. The piece was likely as usual to piece from 1950's made of mohair. The eyes should be glass instead of plastic in modern production. Stitched nose, mouth and claws as well as swivel head and jointed limbs. The piece has a brown shiny tone, we mostly encounter beige tones from this era. The piece is in good condition without significant problems, signs of use and age.
