Steiff Handmade Lion Teddy Soft Toy
This Steiff handmade lion teddy soft toy is a plush lion in a seated pose, with a cream-coloured, textured body and a full brown mane. The fur is soft and short on the body and face, with a contrasting brown muzzle and paw pads. The Steiff tag reads “Handmade by Steiff” and “Knopf im Ohr”, which translates as “button in ear”, and the trademark button is fixed to the ear. The lion has a rounded head, slender limbs and a brown mane that frames the face.
Condition and Collectability
The lion appears to be in good overall presentation, with no obvious staining or damage evident from the images, and the fur appears soft and full. Buyers are encouraged to make their own enquiries before bidding. The combination of a recognised maker, the visible Steiff ear button and the handmade label gives this piece appeal for collectors of Steiff soft toys and for anyone seeking a characterful lion teddy.
