Here is our latest addition to our Steiff bear family, he's a little rough but I'm 99% sure he's a Steiff, can anyone help me date him. He stands approx 10" tall and is approx 16" long, has a very pronounced hump, my thoughts are teens.

Rough or not, he's awesome looking!!! Happy holidays to you and your family!
He has a few of early Steiff 'hints', but obviously you have more knowledge than I. He has a beautiful face, and has most definitely been loved.
This bear originally had wheels. He was a pull toy.

Thanks efsgirl! Any. Thoughts on era? Pre 21? With the very pronounced hump, could this be a very early Steiff?
Looking at the one pictured in the link and yours, I would hazard a guess and say yours is pre-1920. The hump on yours is more exaggerated.
Contact the Steiff Museum. If you don't speak German, then English is also fine.

That is a Steiff Pull-Along Bear from the early 20th century. There used to be wheels attached to his legs.
