Description
The teddy bear has been a fixture of American childhood for more than a century—and this soft, snuggly version from Steiff comes straight from the company that started it all. The first plush bear was created by Steiff in 1902, the same year it captured hearts in the U.S. and earned its Teddy name. You'll find early examples in the collections of the National Museum of American History and this 16" Jimmy Bear brings the story full circle with a design that's sure to be any little one's BFF until he becomes their grownup collectible.
