SOLD ~~ ANTIQUE STEIFF BEAR ON WOOD WHEELS 1920'S

Wonderful large Steiff bear on wood wheels from the 1920's.  This bear is listed in the book, "Volume I The Teddy Bear Companion" by Dee Hockenberry.  I have attached a photo of the page.  The book lists the bear as 24", but when I measure, I get 26".  The book lists his color as grey, but it has a slight greenish tinge to it.  His ears have been replaced and he has a bare spot on neck area as shown in the photos.  He still has the little yellow cord attached to his wheel frame as shown in the book  His body shape is absolutely beautiful, stuffed with excelsior and he is strong on his frame. He has brown glass eyes and his original black stitched nose. He still has some claws on his feet and his pull ring growler does work. He did not come with the collar shown in the Hockenberry book when I purchased him. Shipping is included in the price within the USA only.  If you wish to purchase this bear on wheels and live outside the country, please contact me at aDORRbear@aol.com before paying to get an estimate on shipping costs.  Please ask any questions you might have before purchasing. Thank you for your interest.

 $900.01 SOLD  Includes shipping in the continental USA
