To Enlarge Them
Bedraggled and Worn with so much Charm is our Old “Loved” Petsy, according to the Steiff info they made two versions between 1928 and early 1930s, the blue eyed with tipping to mohair and this version with the brassy gold mohair with her amber brown glass eyes was only made in one size, 13”.
Original “as found” in reasonably good-fair condition and can be left as is. She has original glass eyes, original sectioned head seams and her floss for this version is black though her floss on nose has worn as well as her mouth and claws, though some remain. You can almost see her smiling. She has threadbare areas, stuffing loss in her arms, a small hole on her chest reveals her non-working growler. Body, head and legs stuffing is very good.Someone has sewn thread across her felt pads when they wore to keep her excelsior inside. Her joints work well. She has been lightly vacuumed & brushed using TLC and may benefit from a light bath as her fur is a bit grubby from years of play.
Our Golden Girl has seen much play is Love Worn though rarely seen in any condition with many wrinkles, discoloring and much patina to her, minimal fur, no odors, no dry rot, just worn but holding her own. She wears her old antique handmade black & cream calico dress with petticoat underneath. price $875 see more photos below
