Early Steiff Rarities Come to Auction January 6-7, 2018

Collectors will bark out their bids and purr with delight when winning one of more than 200 rare early Steiff animals presented at Theriault's January 6 and 7 in Newport Beach, California. The one-owner private German collection was meticulously collected over more than 3 decades, and represents an extraordinary array of the mohair and velvet animals created in the early 1900s by the celebrated Steiff firm known for their signature logo "Button in Ear". The collection ranges from seldom found early teddy bears such as early Petsy and Teddy Clown in two sizes to the impossibly-rare complete set of animal Skittles first introduced by Steiff in 1892. Beloved family pets of dogs and cats are featured in abundance and in rare variations of color and size, as well as fantasy figures, farmyard animals, and animals and fantasy figures representing celebrity figures such as Mickey Mouse or historical events.

This fine collection of Steiff animals will be presented in the 276 page full color catalog with complete descriptions of each, and collectors are urged to attend the auction exhibition on Friday, January 5 as well as the two auction days of January 6 and 7 as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view this museum-quality collection.
