Antique Steiff Teddy Cat Katze

Born to be Wild is our frisky jointed cat we've named Pechey or Peaches! Personable with darling expressive face, she was taken very good care of and no longer has her button. Our great early cat was made with a tipover "Miauo Growler/ Crier" though presently non-working, from circa 1908-11, shown on pg 164-65 of the Sortiment book. Wonderful Condition with attractive yellow glass eyes w. Flat top edge, she's 6-way jointed, head, arms, legs & tail which has been sewn down and does not move.

Other joints move well and can hold a pose. Our medium size kitty, measures 9.5" long nose to butt not including tail of 5", sits at 8 tall from front paw to top of head not including his ears. Repair to her tail, she has slight patina, barely dirty after all her years of play, no matted areas, no bugs, no odors and gently brushed. Feet slightly dirty maybe from the litter pan dust!

Soft cream blonde fur with some airbrushed striping to her face and slightly faded single thread pink floss on nose, mouth and most of her claws. Some general wear of thinning or balding mohair, especially to tail, right side of back leg and a little on feet & left side of face.

Otherwise, in Great Condition for her early age nicely furred with maybe 65% remaining mohair. Pechey is quite lovely with a glowing disposition and humor, so much fun to pose even backwards which she enjoys! If your country is on the exclusion list, feel free to write me and let me know.

Sometimes having had problems with some buyers, might exclude otherwise good people. Have a look at my other Auctions and my ME page to view my Teddy Bear Collection from AFewGoodBears. As Always, Thank You For Looking.
