Dolly Bear Replica 1913

Steiff Dolly Bear Replica 1913 is fully jointed, made of the finest mohair and stuffed with wood-shavings. She has glass eyes and a squeaker voice; her woollen coral red ruff is handmade. The patinated “underscore” button in the ear and the white replica ear tag are sympathetic to the original. Thanks to Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, Steiff have always felt a close connection with the USA. In 1913, on the occasion of the presidential election in the USA, Richard Steiff designed the original “Dolly”, a teddy bear in the national colours. Until 1918, there were four colour variations, but the head always remained white. In 2021, Dolly bear replica 1913 is launched; 32 cm tall, in green, with a coral red ruff and white head; a rare and therefore very sought-after version at the time.
