Description
Steiff Ear Tag
Mohair

On 14 April 1912 the passenger liner Titanic was speeding towards New York on her maiden transatlantic voyage when, at 11.40pm, she struck an iceberg off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. Water poured through a 90 metre gash below the waterline, and in less than three hours the liner had sunk. The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst shipping tragedies of all time. 1,513 people lost their lives. When news of the catastrophe reached England the whole country was plunged into mourning. Steiff responded by producing black mohair bears to mourn the disaster. These were displayed in shop windows throughout London within weeks of the disaster. Clearly touching a chord, they sold out quickly. Only 494 were produced resulting in them being greatly prized today. Ian Pout, owner of Teddy Bears of Witney, bought one of these remaining original bears at Phillip´s, London in October 1990 - "Othello" is his name.

Replica Limited Edition (White and Black Ear Tag)
The Limited Edition Teddy Bears and animals of the Replica series by Steiff are very special pieces. These true to original pieces are reproduced exactly according to their historic role models from the Steiff product history.

All Steiff replicas have a white ear tag with black writing to document their special status together with the true to original "Button in Ear" from the respective year of production.

Steiff Mohair
Mohair - Lustrous, shiny and sleek. This natural material from the wool of the angora goat is the traditional Teddy bear material. In fact, it was used for the first Teddy bear ever created. The fiber is both beautiful and durable, which accounts for the amazing number of vintage Steiff creations that appear today in superb condition. Most teddy bears and animals in Steiff's current Classic range are made of mohair material.
