He is 16" tall and has lost most of his mohair, but he is still a softy with a cheerful smile and many a tale to tell. His head is a bit wobbly but after being at sea for so long, it is perfectly understandable. His paw pads have been neatly replaced, otherwise he is all original. He has his light brown nose, mouth and claw stitching and his wonderful shiny brown eyes (with black pupils). He wears his antique sweater, pants, and vintage sailor cap and a pin that says "HMS Warrior 1860 Portsmouth". He also proudly wears his ear button. He flatly refuses to take any of his clothes off for bare bottom photos and says that it is not befitting a gentleman of his age. This is a precious Steiff teddy character bear that must be valued for his endearing qualities, not for his perfection, or lack thereof. He is fresh and clean and ready to retire. Please ask all questions prior to auction close, as I do not offer returns on antique bears. Please contact me within 48 hours of auction end.
