z(1920) Steiff Zottelbar. Stanley. Josie Rockett Farnell likeStanley is showcased by Josie Rockett Stanley is a wonderful Steiff "Zottelbar" made in the 1920s. He has long shaggy brown mohair fur and is unjointed. These bears were designed to stand on all fours but over time and after being much cuddled Stanley's stuffing has broken down in his tummy so he prefers to sit on his bottom (I love this!). He measures 13 inches long and 9 inches tall. He is entirely wood wool filled and has a non working side

) high (damage to hand pads

jointed limbs with ribbed cloth pads

Dillon has a lovely shy smile which is very appealing

SOLD A 1930s Knickerbocker teddy bear

When restitching his nose I was able to retrace the original pattern of his nose and mouth as the holes in the fabric were clear from where they had once been

has boot button eyes and has 5 claws on pads and 3 on his paws

I have the receipt from Christie's

and I love his big feet and stubby

still sound with no tears and there are the original five claws stitching to each limb

This bear is featured in Sue Pearsons "A Collectors Guide to bears"

with a good coverage with some light overall thinning in places

He is slightly playworn as you would expect from an 85 year old toy but considering his age 'Teddy Tail' is in overall excellent condition
