STEIFF BABY LION WITH BUTTON IN EAR

This is a Steiff Baby Lion in very condition. He retains his Raised Script Button in ear. He has amber and black eyes and a pretty good coverage of mohair. All his sewn claws are intact. He has been well looked after over his many years since manufacture. He measures about 11 inches long to the tip of his tail by about 7 inches high in the standing position.

As you can see from the photos above - he has a wonderful expression with this gorgeous pink silk original stitched nose. He even retains his whiskers! He has faded on the top from golden mohair (still golden underneath) to a beige colour. His mohair coverage is really good - I do spot a bald area around an inch long on his back but nothing much else to speak of. Of course this is the larger size and fully jointed - so he can be posed in many ways for display. A super Steiff animal, very desirable and not easy to find. He is such a lovely boy I would expect him to sell quickly, so if you have fallen in love with that face - do email me quickly to reserve him! He would display well with dolls as well as bears.

The lovely Steiff Fully Jointed Baby Lion is priced at £110
