I've searched everywhere and there is no identification. It appears there WAS a tag on the top left ear, but its no longer there.
My grandmother passed away last week and this was one of her teddy bears. And I believe she's had this since she was a kid, so, I know its German, but I'm not sure if its a Steiff bear. She grew up in Germany and relocated in the U.S. in the 1950's.
And its really hard to get an accurate measurement but its about 21-22 inches tall.
He looks like the kind of bear you used to be able to win at carnivals. Here's a similar-looking one from eastern Europe: http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot.as … 1&Start=80
He's got a great face!
