Steiff Cockerel 1892 by Steiff (EAN 411519) has just recently arrived at Beacon's Glow Collectibles.
This magnificant Steiff cockerel rooster is quite stunning. This is a very special replica that dates back to the time with Steiff's founder, Margarete Steiff was still making toys with her own hands. (For those of you that didn't know, Margarete's first creations were felt elephants). She was quite a woman, and a true female entrepreneur for her time.
This magnificant rooster is made from 35 separate layers of felt in 12 different colors. Since the legendary "Button in Ear" had not yet been introduced in 1892, this Cockerel 1892 by Steiff (EAN 411519) is given the first official button with an elephant logo. He comes from a limited edition of 1000 pieces worldwide.
We are quite pleased to get the opportunity to carry this wonderful Steiff piece. Pleade don't hesitate to contact us if you would like any additional information on this Steiff Cockerel 1892 by Steiff.

Hello, Joan, Thank you for your comment. So sorry for the delay as we were having issues with some of our blog settings. Your Cockerel sounds incredible. I know that there are several books out there with the values of Steiff items. Also, I might recommend writing (or emailing) a teddy bear magazine (like Teddy Bear Review or Teddy Bear and Friends). In each issue they have a section on valuing vintage bears. Good luck!
