Title: Any Steiff collectors / interest out there?
Post by: Steiffgal on August 29, 2009, 01:08:00 pm: Just checking with the group to see if anyone is interested in Steiff collectibles. If you are, then let's talk Steiff! (warning... shameless promotion ahead!) Check out http://mysteifflife.blogspot.com/ a blog about all things Steiff. I am happy to take a look at your old Steiff, just send along a few photos and a brief description of the item. And, if your stuff is very cool, and makes for an interesting story, I will even do a full blown webpost on it. Thanks! Steiffgal

Post by: railman44 on August 31, 2009, 12:42:14 am: Very old Steiff teddy bears bring a pretty penny per the Antiques Roadshow. I bought teddy bears for my daughter and have a huge garbage bag full of them in the basement. They were bought 35 or so years ago. Maybe I should go through the bag and see if there's any Steiff bears in that bag. ???
Title: Re: Any Steiff collectors / interest out there?
Post by: Steiffgal on August 31, 2009, 10:23:35 am: Cool! Yes, definitely have a look in the bag! I would be happy to take a look at pictures of bears you think may be Steiff or other collectible brands, just email pictures to this forum or to me directly at steifflife@gmail.com.

Post by: talesofthesevenseas on August 31, 2009, 10:39:20 am: I have the Steiff cat puppet, which I recently saw priced at $135 in an antique store. Mine is just like it, but without tags and showing more age.

She's lovely, I especially like her heart shaped pink nose. She looks to be in pretty good condition. This particular puppet design was produced from 1950 through 1978. Her button and tag style date her late 1970's.

Post by: talesofthesevenseas on August 31, 2009, 06:57:08 pm: I'll photograph the one I have. It was given to me when I was very little so mine is a bit earlier, about 1965-ish. I don't think mine has a heart-shaped nose. I'll have to check on that. The tags are long gone of course, since this was a much-loved toy of mine and "back in the olden days" no one thought about keeping the tags on!

Post by: talesofthesevenseas on September 01, 2009, 12:54:45 pm: Cool! I agree, having a stuffed animal person on board will be great! My mother has an old mohair bear of my grandmothers. I'll try to get some photos of it, but it will probably take a while. The bear is an oldie, dating to the early 1900's, as Grandma was born in 1906. But he's in pretty poor condition as I remember.

Post by: talesofthesevenseas on September 02, 2009, 01:23:51 am: OK here is my "Kitty Puppet". (Sorry, I was not terribly creative naming my toys when I was four!) She is pictured here with Peep, who is a professional Steiff look-alike, model, and Beverly Hills socialite. My God the resemblance is astounding!!!!

Here's the photo you really need, showing condition and such:

Oh, she is totally lovely. Can't see her button so impossible to give you her approximate birth date. However, I have seen similar Steiff cat puppets in like condition sell in the $30-50 range overall.
Title: Re: Any Steiff collectors / interest out there?
Post by: talesofthesevenseas on September 02, 2009, 06:52:39 pm: There is no button, I probably took it off as a kid. But I know it was given to me in about 1965 and it was new then, so there's no question about the date, give or take a year. I don't think the colors were ever as bright as on the example in Steiffgal's post. I think the white was always more of a cream color. It's not dirty, but it could have yellowed/faded with age.

The one I saw priced at $135 was in the same kind of condition, but this was in a retail antique store, so I think a lot of that price is retail mark-up and pre-economic crash pricing. Probably would be good for an insurance value. Steiffgals estimate is probably right-on if for Ebay or collectors I would think.

Yes the recession has taken a HUGE chunk out of the value of Steiff collectibles, at least that's what I have observed. I just purchased something at auction that 5 years ago would have gone for $1200 go for $200 last month. Really bad for sellers, great for collectors in the short run.

Post by: talesofthesevenseas on September 18, 2009, 12:28:24 am: Hey Steiffgal,

A collection of Steiff animals just came up on our local Craigslist. Thought of you right away! I don't know if any of them are ones you are interested in, but I thought it might be worth dropping this guy an email or a phone call to see how much he's got. The collection belonged to his mum and includes some mohair animals.
