Steiff Teddies

The other day I was chatting with a German friend and she reminded me of these beautiful bears by Steiff. Specifically her story was regarding a new puppy who knew exactly which of her teddies, as a little girl, was the most expensive to adopt as a new chew toy! Started in 1880, the original design still resembles the bear that first debuted in 1902. You just have to see these beautiful bears and animals with their little trademark "Button in Ear."
