NEW! Paul
the growling bear is a replica of a Teddy bear from the year 1908. His
unique charm and unbelievable friendly character evokes memories of
days gone by. Paul has very bright and watchful boot-button eyes and is
made of long-tufted, blond mohair that has a little soft shine and
traces left behind by many loving hands. The mohair has been specially
treated and discretely patented with a bronze color - as well as the
felt paws of the legendary "Bruin the Bear" that tell the stories of a
bear's eventful life. Thus, Paul the growling bear elates both Steiff
friends and collectors alike in a Limited Edition of 1,908 pieces
worldwide. His genuine character with the classic stuffing made of wood
shavings, the "underscored button" made of patented steel plus the
nicer-sounding, longer-lasting growl that was re-developed on the
occasion of his 100th birthday by an organ builder from Giengen make
him a sought-after collector's item of lasting value.
