2011 Steiff Bears North American Exclusive (Gatsby, the Trademark Bear EAN 681950)

 Another incredible bear from Steiff Bears 2011 North American Exclusives Lineup is Gatsby, the Trademark Bear (EAN 681950).  This cinnamon colored bear stands at 15 inches and comes from a limited edition of only 1897 pieces.

According to Steiff: “When we announced to collectors that The Trademark Bear series would end last year, they immediately let us know they wanted more. So we decided it was only fitting, if we were going to introduce another bear in the series, that it should be something truly special. Gatsby perfectly fits the bill. He’s made of a rare cinnamon-colored material that Steiff has never used before – a blend of pure silk with a little bit of russet-colored mohair added to the mix. The result is something truly extraordinary.  Around his neck, he wears a genuine leather collar with an elephant trademark button.”
Destined to a favorite this year by Steiff collectors.
