STEIFF Teddy Bear 'Black 32' - White Tag 038150 - Limited Edition

STEIFF Teddy Bear Black 32 , 2004 - White Tag 038150 - Limited Edition 324/3000

An exceptionally striking Steiff Teddy Bear Black 32, featuring the white tag (038150) and limited to just 3000 pieces worldwide, this example is individually numbered 324. This was the first time, the finest black Alpaca Mohair was used to create a stunning coat for this bear, resulting in a true triumph to rare materials and masterful craftsmanship.

He is crafted from exquisite Alpaca, renowned as one of the finest and softest natural fibres in the world, traditionally shorn by hand. His coat displays a rich, deep blacktone that gives him a truly distinctive and elegant presence. Complementing this is a stylish red leather collar adorned with nine stainless steel 'elephant' buttons, creating an eye-catching detail.

This bear proudly carries the iconic gold-plated Elephant 'button in ear' alongside the official Steiff white numbered tag as a symbol of his exclusiveness and authenticity.  Fully jointed and traditionally stuffed with wood shavings for a firm, classic feel, he also features an internal growler that adds to his nostalgic charm. His glass eyes and neatly hand-stitched black nose and mouth complete his Nobel and expressive appearance.

Height: 12" / 32 cm

He comes complete with his original certificate & box with magnetic fasteners which are presented in excellent condition.  A scarce and highly collectible Steiff piece, this elegant alpaca bear is a superb addition for discerning collectors.
