I&#039;m a dealer, and I recently acquired this massive mohair teddy bear that measures 44&quot; inches tall, and after doing some research I feel pretty good about it being Steiff, but I&#039;m not 100% sure because it is so unusual, and I can&#039;t find another one of this size anywhere!</p><p><br /></p><p>It definitely has some age to it, and it was wearing a 1970&#039;s or 80&#039;s vest when I got it.&nbsp; It came out of a large collector&#039;s estate, who had many Steiff mohair bears, and an impressive antique porcelain doll collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if Steiff made huge bears like this?&nbsp; I found a couple bears that were about 36&quot; inches tall, but nothing over 40&quot; inches.&nbsp; Any idea how old it might be, or are there any features like the eyes that could help date it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated!&nbsp; Thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>Eric[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
