LOVED 18\" ANTIQUE STEIFF BEAR WITH BUTTON c.1920s
Price: GB $676.38
A beautiful, well-loved long-nosed Steiff bear called Gaby, with underscored \'ff\' earbutton c.1920s. Gaby measures 46 cms (18\") tall, and has original features, except for a replaced glass eye. She only has tufts of gold mohair remaining, and her linen pads are worn with repairs, including rather fetching, floral blue patches! Gaby is woodwool-stuffed, and this has settled in the tops of her arms where she was probably carried by her child owner. There\'s also some slight settlement around her neck, but she still manges to hold her head high. All joints are sound, and she has a non-working growler. Her original left eye is back-painted glass and shows a little loss of enamel. The old replaced clear glass eye is a tad smaller, with some surface wear. Her nose and mouth stitching are long gone, and there\'s a few small darns, including to the side of her face and front torso, plus a small patched repair to her right ankle. Gaby\'s lovely protruding muzzle is slightly off kilter, where the stuffing has shifted over time. Overall, though, she\'s a good sturdy ted, with a great humped back. This adorable, sweet character is dressed in her peach bloomers and old knitted jacket, plus an antique satin \'scarf\' pinned with a vintage jewelled brooch. Thanks for looking. TRACKED POSTAGE TO EUROPE IS 16 GBP, AND REST OF WORLD 22 GBP.
