I love this bear who has been a favorite in my personal collection. Sadly parting with him today. This handsome Sailor boy named Moby (after Moby Dick, of course is a gorgeous 13 early German Steiff teddy bear dating to c1908 with his FF button in ear. This teddy is in wonderful condition retaining lots of his blonde mohair with minimal thinning. Hes fully jointed and firmly stuffed with excelsior wood shavings and his fabric is strong. Moby has his black shoe button eyes, black nose and mouth stitching and has such a beautiful classic early Steiff face framed with beautiful mohair fur coverage. His pads are in good original condition with no holes. All joints work well and he has no saggy areas and his only blemish I see is a firm repair near his back shoulder shown in the last photo. His fabric is strong and hes in overall great condition with no odors. He’s even strong enough to stand on his own and if you like your bears in good condition like me, you’ll love him! Moby is wearing a gorgeous vintage Sailor suit with silk trim complete with matching pants. It fits him perfectly and is so adorable! I no longer have the ribbon seen in some earlier photos taken, but even better, Moby will come to you wearing his wonderful Sailor Suit! Contact me with any questions.
