Steiff Theo Teddy Bear EAN 036453

If you are lucky enough to visit the famed Puppenhaus Museum in Basel, Switzerland, there’s a very special Teddy bear you need to meet. He is known simply as “specimen number 1766,” but you’ll instantly see that a mere number does not adequately capture this Teddy bear’s shining personality. Manufactured in 1916, he is perhaps the epitome of Steiff Teddy bears from the period. Now Steiff has chosen to re-create this special Teddy bear as a world-wide limited edition. And we’ve captured all the charm and character that makes the original so special. To develop a duplicate mohair worthy of this exceptional Teddy bear, we sent the original from 1916 to Steiff Schulte,
our fabric mill in Duisburg, to have artisans custom-make a material as close to the Puppenhaus Teddy bear as possible. Then our designers carefully measured every angle of the original to copy his proportions – from the tips of his ears to the bottoms of his feet. We captured his long snout, humped back, and spectacular face perfectly. Finally, our airbrush artists added finishing touches around the eyes and paw pads to give the Steiff Theo Teddy bear an antique appearance. Then a Steiff Classic was reborn for a new generation of Teddy bear enthusiasts. First in the series of Teddy bears in our “Tribute to the Puppenhaus” series.

Steiff Theo Teddy Bear EAN 036453 is a 2010 Worldwide Limited Edition of 1,500 pieces.
