Obviously you want it to be a Steiff bear. It would be worthless if it was. Sorry but it is damaged and otherwise in bad shape. You can research Steiff bears at the link I am posting below.

thanks for that,i dont care what sort of bear he is or her,just some people over the years said thats why the ear was nicked,,,,,,, thanks anthony
Your bear is a precious family heirloom . I can't see him clear enough nor can I tell what fur and paws are made of from photo . My First impression is that he is not a stieff bear , can you tell me what the fur and paws are made of and also what is he stuffed with , does he feel hard or crunchy like straw ? I have seen many a bear with ear off because either the child carried them by the ear or a pet dog chewed it off . I am not seeing Steiff characteristics on him jump out at me . very cute .
timber joints for movement,stuffed with straw ,glass eys,i dont know what the fur is made of ??????
your bear is polish and dates to the 1950s nice old bear
Thanks for your help.its in that corner 25 year when he was given to me.
