Steiff PB55 Bear - EAN 404009
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Steiff Teddy Bears, this 2002 bear is an exact replica of the first bear ever made by Steiff in 1902.
Steiff could not find an original PB55 to make a replica of so they painstakingly researched all pictures they had of the bear and x-rayed a monkey that was produced the same year and was pictured with PB55 to see how it was jointed and stuffed.
They were so proad with this achievement that they include in the box a small information book on exactly how they made PB55.
Made in mohair from the fur of the angora goat, fully string jointed and stuffed with wood shavings, he stands 55cm tall and wears a gold-plated button in ear with an individually numbered white tag.
PB55 is limited to 7,000 pieces world wide.
MINT, BRAND NEW Condition from a Smoke Free Environment. Boxed with Certificate.
