This Steiff bear is 25 cm, five ways jointed, and made from blonde mohair. Her face is detailed with brown and black pupil eyes and a brown hand embroidered nose and mouth. She has peach colored felt paw and foot pads, and a distinctly "portly" appearance: a short, stocky body; chunky, minimally curved limbs; and no breaks indicating her wrists. Like all Steiff Jackie bears, this one has a pink stitch across her nose and a distinctive belly button. The first and original Jackie was produced in 17, 25, 35, and 75 cm from 1953 through 1955 only. Jackie bears are exceptionally rare on the secondary market given their appeal, limited production, and their brief appearance in the line. Condition: As noted. Jackie retains her Steiff button and traces of her yellow ear tag. With thinning overall mohair and losses on the felt pads. Her IDs have been lost to time. In clean, good condition overall.
Item Dimensions: 9-1/2'' L.
