Up for auction is aM. STEIFF GIENGEN-TEDDYBAR REPLICA 1906. "In 1902, in the little village of Gierngen an der Brenz in Germany, Richard Steiff, the nephew of Margarete Steiff, designed and created the world's first jointed bear. His original prototype incorporated another "first"...a stuffed animal covered in mohair plush. Although Richard used gray mohair scraps for his initial model, this color was not used commercially. By 1906, only 4 years later, almost one million Teddy Bears had been produced. The majority of these bears were shipped to America. This Teddy Bear commemorates the skill of the Giengen craftsmen and the success of the new idea. It is made with loving care from an old pattern used in 1906 and is covered with a coat of fine gray mohair plush."
