Celebrate the 110th Anniversary of the Teddy Bear

In 1902, Steiff created the first Teddy bear. Celebrate the 110th anniversary with this half-size version of the original PB 55. Steiff challenged their designers to re-imagine this classic. They asked them to explore the essence of the design. The results are truly extraordinary. The 110th Anniversary PB 55 is made from dark brown, slightly curly mohair. Whereas the original PB55 had a sealing wax nose, the 26cm (10 inch) tall Anniversary edition nose is hand-stitched. To simulate the glossy effect of sealing wax, Steiff´s artisans carefully applied candle wax to the nose and hand polished it. The mouth stitching is still made from the same strong, waxed saddler thread as used 110 years ago. Of course, the anniversary edition has the unique five-claw stitching. Only 1902 pieces have been made. Each has a gold-plated Button in Ear. Own a true piece of history - the 110th anniversary PB 55 limited edition.
