Opening this auction is a selection of Steiff Teddy Bears acquired from a single collector. The craze for collecting Steiff Teddy Bears happened during the 1904 St. Louis Fair when Mr. Steiff sold 12,000 bears and earned the event's highest honor, the Gold Medal. The bears, with a small metal Steiff clip attached to the ear, became prized as a collector's item. Today, teddy bears are among the most loved toys as well as the most collectible. This selection won't disappoint!
