Lot 5238

Full Lot Description

Asquiths of Windsor Earl teddy bear and sample by Steiff: (1) Earl, taupe alpaca teddy bear, black plastic eyes, black stitched nose, velvet pads, black claw stitching, fully jointed, made as an exclusive for Asquiths, 15.5"/40cm; (2) Earl, sample by Steiff, caramel mohair, black plastic eyes, black vertically stitched nose, wool felt pads, black claw stitching, fully jointed, 15.5"/40cm; Near Mint; (2). NB: Joan Bland (Asquiths of Windsor) approached Steiff to produce a limited edition of Earl. This design never went into production and is the only known sample. During the 1980s and 1990s Steiff 'Work in Progress' did not have Ids, they had luggage labels attached, which often became detached. Statement from the vendor: 'The grey bear made from alpaca was called Earl. Steiff made a copy with the intention of producing it for me. Just after receiving the sample they decided that Steiff would only produce their own bears. I do not have any record of correspondence. I think the transactions was all verbal.'
