GREAT AMERICAN SPIRIT

Since 1872, the Bald Eagle has been the ultimate symbol of American patriotism.
In 1945, President Harry S. Truman made this majestic species a part of the Official Seal of the President of the United States.

In celebration of the pride, power and peace that the eagle embodies,
Steiff has created this new Teddy bear with an eagle.
It is named The Great American Spirit Teddy Bear.
The Teddy bears in this series typify the true spirit of the country.

“The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation.
The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America.”
– President John F. Kennedy.

Made of genuine Schulte mohair, this handcrafted heirloom
Teddy bear features an intricately detailed felt eagle perched on its paw.
It wears a campaign-style button and a red, white and blue ribbon that has been carefully antiqued to reflect its historic status.
He has the iconic gold Steiff ‘button-in-ear’.
Great American Spirit Teddy Bear With Eagle is limited to 776 pieces.
