Heard back from Steiffgal. Apparently the animal I thought was a rabbit is actually a donkey :embarrassed:
And the other one I wasn't certain about is a puma. The donkey is apparently the sleeping donkey manufactured by steiff from 1991-95.
I believe (though not confirmed by Steiffgal) that the other is the jolly puma, manufactured in the mid 70s.
thanks again for the help!
Hi all. I am new to the teddy bear collecting world.
I recently bought some steiff bears and need some help in identifying two of them.
The first is a rabbit. I believe woven fur but could be mohair. It has a small patch of black hair. Otherwise it's mostly grey. It is approximately 25cm long. Button in ear is brass and 8-9mm wide.The other one is a lion cub? Approximately 50cm head to tail. Nickle button in ear that is about 5mm wide.Does anyone have any info on these two? Iwant to keep them - just too pretty to sell, but want to know what it is I'm keeping
