Mohair Circus Elephant Replica 1931

This extraordinary Steiff elephant made of orange-tipped mohair is not only a true agile talent but also can tell a lot of moving stories from his colorful life. The original of this new edition was born in 1931 when he elated his little owner Klara Steiff, Margarete Steiff’s third cousin, as a prototype elephant with an unbelievable range of motions and fabulous tricks. Thanks to a special neck mechanism that was developed in 1931 by Hugo Steiff, the elephant’s head can be moved in a circle by turning the tail. When the elephant is especially hungry, he snaps his mouth open and closed and so that he can emphasize his point, he can stand on his strong hind legs with help of an integrated snap-lock mechanism in his body. When the little circus elephant is full and has been played with to his heart’s content, he shows his charming side with his friendly, coloured glass eyes and his “smiling” expression. The Steiff Circus Elephant is proud to have the “underscored button” made of patinated steel and will be very happy to find a new home with a young or young at-heart Steiff fan as one of a limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide.

Made of the finest mohair yellow/orange tipped jointed, surface washable limited edition 1,000 pieces worldwide stuffed with wood shavings with neck mechanics and snap mechanism and “underscored button” made of patinated steel

The sensational new Shepherd Teddy bear likes to get comfortable at Christmas time in a warm and cozy place at the home of a true Steiff fan.

Yet this Teddy bear can do much more than simply herd sheep – he is, after all, the first Steiff Teddy bear that can smoke. There is a beech wood insert inside the body that was especially developed and produced for Steiff and for these bears by the experts on incense smokers from the Erz Mountains in Germany. So that this shepherd bear can leisurely smoke his pipe, simply remove the head, place the incense cone inside the metal holder in the insert, light it and then reinsert the insert into the body.

This sweet-smelling fellow is accompanied by an adorable little green-eyed lamb. The lamb is made of soft, thick alpaca and is stitched and painted by hand with lots of loving attention to detail.
