Elliot Vintage Replica BearElliot is part of the beloved Steiff Vintage Series. This characteristic Teddy bear made of finest blue mohair is a replica of an original 'born' in 1908. The predecessor to this adorable bear became world famous in 1993 when he was found a new owner at auction for just under £50,000.
This new, beautifully-crafted bear, stuffed with wood wool and fitted with a growler and wooden eyes, will completely charm you with his wonderful vintage look. Painstakingly-precise work has gone into carefully thinning his mohair fur and applying subtle airbrushing in order to make him look naturally older and well-loved for many years.
In his ear you'll find the Steiff Black and White Tag to certify him as a Limited Edition replica bear. He is part of an edition of just 1,908 pieces in accordance with the original's year of birth.

SteiffSteiff have been manufacturing bears and other collectable characters for over 125 years. All their cuddly companions are "made in Germany" in Steiff's own factory.
As with all those characters made in the early days, it is still the manual skills that make each Steiff product wonderfully unique.
Each Steiff bear is signified by a "Tag" in its left ear, and each of these tags has a meaning.
A Yellow Tag - identifies the bears which are produced in unlimited numbers
A White & Black Tag - identifies a limited edition bear which is a replica of one originally produced by Steiff many years ago.
A White & Red Tag - identifies a limited edition bear which will be produced as a special for the current year, or to commemorate an occasion.
