Franz Teddy Bear by Steiff EAN 034060
|
The official launch date to introduce the up and coming
2014 Steiff Fall line was July 1st. We have to say that this collection is amazing! There are so many incredible teddy bears and animals that it makes it so hard to choose a favorite.
And all of the North American Exclusives, Replicas, and Worldwide Limited Editions come with a very special 'Button in Ear' tag. In 1904 the founder, Margarete Steiff, officially registered the "Button in Ear". This memorable event is now commemorated with an ear tag that contains the very same elephant motif that was used more than 110 years ago.
A bit about this fantastic collection directly from Steiff:
"There's a new parade of
novelties headed your way for fall and holiday 2014. Leading the procession is
Lukas, the drummer boy, with his little tin drum. In his smart white mohair
coat, he sets the pace for a cast of characters that's sure to bring joy to collectors everwhere. There are rare treasures, unique replicas, and
lovable animals in store for everyone.
Fall marks the return of the
coveted Margarete Steiff edition. This black-tag series
represents the very best of Steiff design and craftsmanship. Each
piece is meticulously handmade by our most skilled artisans and produced in
strictly low quantities. This special edition pays tribute to
Franz Steiff who developed the famous "Button in Ear"
trademark exactly 110 years ago. The bear comes with a copy of the original
button patent and a sealing wax kit.
The collection also includes
characters designed to help collectors celebrate the upcoming holiday season.
There's a musical bear that plays "Last Christmas," a little girl
Teddy in a snowflake gown, and a pair of festive ornaments.
Plus, there are plenty of ideas
for gift-giving. Wouldn't Teddy with Matryoshka make a wonderful
Christmas surprise? And who wouldn't appreciate the gift of adventure with our
Marco and Niccolo Teddy bears?
Naturally, you'll also find new
exclusives for the North American audience. The ever-popular series of bears
with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS continues with "Rudy," a fresh, new pink
bear. The next "Wizard of Oz" edition is the Scarecrow, officially
licensed by Warner Brothers.
Replicas also have their place
in the festivities. There's a 1908 Teddy that looks amazingly like a vintage
bear. And leading the tail end of the parade? A donkey replica on
wheels from 1929, complete with squeaker."
Please stay tuned as we expect that these gems will start shipping in late Fall.
