Produced For The Wolff Toy Store In Germany In Original Packaging With All IDs. This adorable duo consists of a 30 cm fully jointed, traditionally styled, blonde mohair Teddy bear and a 13 cm miniature wolf hand puppet. Both are made from mohair. This very appealing set was produced in 2003 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the debut of the jointed Teddy bear as we know him today in 1903. Teddy and wolf were produced in an edition size of 1,500 pieces for the Wolff Toy Shop, which is located right across the street from the Steiff Company plant. Teddy’s paws are made from felt and embroidered with “100 years” on one, and “Wolff” on the other. The set comes in its original box with its special certificate. Both the bear and wolf are complete with all IDs; the puppet never had a chest tag. Condition: As noted. In like new condition. Provenance: From the collection of long-time Steiff archivist Dick Franz.
