HANDSOME AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE STEIFF GERMAN SHEPHERD PULL TOY.

This is a charming example of the earliest model German Shepherd produced by Steiff. He is standing, unjointed, and made from brown and tan mohair. His appealing and realistic face is detailed with a prominent brown muzzle, a black hand embroidered nose and mouth, and black and brown glass pupil eyes. He has a curvy tail and black embroidered claws. He rides upon four regular green wooden wheels. He retains his original leather collar, but his IDs have been lost to time. This model, an absolute favorite with vintage Steiff collectors worldwide, was manufactured in 28, 35, 43, and 50 cm from 1923-1928 and due to his limited production and time frame, is seldom seen on the secondary market. SIZE: 11″ h. PROVENANCE: A fine New England Collection. CONDITION: As noted. With light playwear, general mohair thinning overall with greater losses to tail area, finial missing from one wheel (wheel is still securely fastened to axle) and light dust, otherwise good. 9-25050 (1,000-2,000) – Lot 1378
