Inspired by a beloved oil painting.

The Steiff Museum in Giengen, Germany keeps the rich history of Steiff alive to this day. Among the museum’s most cherished holdings is an oil painting of Steiff’s founder, Margarete Steiff, by Otto Neubrand.

Based on one of the last known photos of Margarete Steiff, the image shows her holding a brand new (at the time) “Baho” bear in her lap. The angle of the photo and the cap worn by the bear give the bear’s ears a cat-like, pointed look, a unique trait reproduced in this special bear. Along with your bear, you’ll receive a set of commemorative cards showing the bear with the painting, with the original photo and a statement about this historic bear. This is certain to be a one of a kind addition to your Steiff collection! Limited to only 1,100 bears worldwide, this edition is sure to sell out quickly so order today!
