Lot #29:

Vintage Steiff Teddy Bear c. 1920-1924 w/Ear Tag

Exceedingly rare and highly coveted vintage Steiff Bear measuring 4 inches in height. These were the original "beanie bear" collectibles as they were manufactured in Germany from 1920-1924. This jointed 5310 model has the original tag still intact via button in the ear and remains in remarkably nice condition. These treasures range in value from $650 to $1,500 depending on condition and they do not come much nicer than this beauty that features black glass eyes and mohair material. The last one of this quality sold via Christie's in 2010 for $1,385.
