Steiff PAUL (421426) Margarete Steiff Limited Edition 140 Pieces VERY RARE

Steiff PAUL (421426) - Margarete Steiff Limited Edition Of 140 Pieces - VERY RARE. What might have happened if Margarete Steiff had not had her brother and nephews around her?

The world of play would be a much poorer place. As a family of many talents, they created friends for life, a very special standard of quality and an international brand. The Margarete Steiff Edition is an homage to this family achievement: in 2016 Paul joined the previous editions of bears Franz and Fritz - to mark the 140th birthday of Paul Steiff in an exclusive limited edition of 140 pieces. A wonderfully friendly character, this Paul...

The way he sits, made of that uniquely lovely mohair, with shining eyes and bursting with energy! You could almost imagine him taking up a sketch pad and creating something smart on paper - perhaps a new addition to the Steiff bear collection, or a hood ornament for his car? After all, Paul Steiff's car was the very first one ever in Giengen. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this absolutely amazing bear.

With only 140 pieces worldwide, it really would be a huge talking point in any collection. This particular piece is limited edition number 33. The features and accessories of this bear are endless! Made of finest light brown mohair which is surface washable.
