1912 REPLICA TEDDY

After the dramatic sinking of the “Titanic” in 1912, Steiff produced black Teddy bears for the very first time to reflect the mood of the grieving nation of Great Britain. These “mourning bears” have remained in the memory of many people to this day .
This beautiful black bear with its copper-backed, “red-cried” eyes honours the memory of the people aboard the “Titanic”, but also looks to the future with hope as part of our “Teddies for tomorrow” series.

The 1912 Teddy Bear is 33cm tall and sewn from linen plush.
He has herbal-based felt paws, is stuffed with corn fiber and is five-way jointed for excellent posing.
The unique red eyes are made from red felt underlying the eyes.
He’s a brand-new version of a true Steiff classic, reborn for a new generation of collectors.

1912 Teddy Bear bears the iconic Steiff gold-plated button-in-ear.
1912 Teddy Bear Teddys For Tomorrow is a 2023 Steiff open edition with a white/blue ear tag.
He wears the distinctive Teddys for Tomorrow brass chest tag. Although this is a collectors item, it is suitable for ages 14 years and up.
