I have a very old teddy bear, atleast 70-100 years old and know nothing about getting it appraised. Can anyone help me? Does anyone know the value?

You don't give enough information on the teddy. Different makers, details, size, condition all effect the value. Steiff is probably the king of all bear makers and highly collectible. Most noted by the Steiff button in the bears ear. Older Steiff bears in good condition can sell for $100+ per inch. Other things to look for in highly prized bears are long snouts, jointed limbs, glass eyes, humped back with straw or excelsior stuffing. Condition is of utmost importance.

A picture of the bear and any tags is necessary here. You can post pictures by clicking on the "additional options" on the bottom of the post page. (the page where you type your message)
