The 10 cm bird is unjointed and has a mohair body and wings, blue hair wing and tail feathers and brown metal feet. His face is detailed with black button eyes and a plastic beak. He was made in the size only from 1959 through 1961. The 10 cm goat is unjointed and made from tan mohair that has been highlighted with brown airbrushing. His ears are made from felt. His face is detailed with green and black glass slit pupil eyes and a black embroidered nose and mouth. His bow and bell are original to him. He was made in 10 and 14 cm from 1954 through 1956. The lamb is 35 cm, standing, unjointed and made from white wool plush. She has green and black pupil eyes, a red hand embroidered nose and mouth and gentle airbrushing on her feet and face.

The Blue Tit has all of his Steiff IDs, the goat has his button and yellow ear tag as his IDs and the lamb's IDs have been lost to time.
