Two old friends I found last year. They have now got a good home together in my cabinet. They are both in great condition for their age.

Thank you
I don't see any Steiff buttons but if Maniken gets on she will tune you up.
OK thanks.
Here's a Rubylane blog that might help:

Good Luck! :^)
Thank you, I wish they were steiff lol.
Bitsnbobs123.a Don't give up just yet. That link only covers a very short era of Steiff. Steiff North America is in Rhode Island and I am sure they have a web site. You might want to send them pictures and inquire about these bears. I have a Steiff hand puppet from the 1950's which only had a loop and tag on the front, no button. Keep looking until you are positive then look in another direction.
Do you think it's Steiff?
Thank you.

To be honest I've had him a while and never really looked.
I know I have a couple in my collection but never really looked at this one, I just put him in my cabinet, I bought both of them together, they were used as props.
His nose is stitched a cross not down, he has no hump.
A photo of pads and a side view may help. It is pretty hard to say without a button or tag if he is a Steiff , He would have to be examined with him in hand by a Steiff expert . He is a wonderful old Teddy Bear however :-)
Thanks Manikin I've uploaded some more pics.
Hi Ive been told he's a peacock bear 1930s with crystal eyes.
Now the question becomes who told you he is a peacock bear and was that person qualified or guessing? It takes quite some time and research to solve these oldies that are unmarked.
Hi it was a teddy bear expert who I sent pictures to.
