The Old Bear Company

Rare 1905 Apricot Baerle

This is a wonderful example of an early 16" Steiff Baerle. Ted has a fantastic covering of apricot mohair, original features and felt pads. Originally he would have sported a tiny blank button which is now missing. This lovely bear is now very slumpy as the kapok filling has settled but we have chosen to leave him untouched (although it would be easy to add extra kapok if his new owner chose to do so). These bears were known as Baerle 35PAB (PAB stands for pluesh, angescheibt and beweglich - plush, disc-jointed and moveable) and date very precisely to early 1905. Additional pics SOLD
