Looking For A Steiff Evangleline Bear

The FAO Schwarz Celeste Angel bear is fully jointed, in soft, curly periwinkle colored tip-dyed mohair, featuring feminine details like delicate wings with marabou accents and a decorative garland of flower-wreath headpiece with periwinkle rosettes. This angelic beauty is limited to 1,500 pieces, 27 cm in size, comes with a certificate of authenticity in a standard Steiff felt bag. Other Angel bears issued in this series are Evangeline (1999) and Annelise (2000).

I recently bought a Steiff Mungo Meerkat and he’s definitely genuine but im a little unsure of the box because i’ve never seen it before and ive looked everywhere to try to find a picture and nowhere has one. Its like a pale green colour with the new steiff writing in white on top. The box is in two halves ie the top fits over the bottom (like a shoebox) and it has little steiff animal designs all over it in a kinda faded dark green. I’m just wondering if anyone else can put my mind at ease? Is it like a new box or just a box used for the animals range? To be clear, I wasnt born y/day, he has all his tags, his button and tag in his ear, his throat tag and his authentication certificates etc. I just cant seem to find any help on the internet so any help at all would be great!! x

Hello. I’m from the UK and I have just purchased an antique Steiff Bear, Brown Bear on cast iron wheels, I think he dates from 1919. I am told by the dealer that he belonged to a William Curn who resided in Steubenville in Ohio. He bought him from the Grandson but I have no details regarding the Grandson, only an old photograph depicting the Grandfather with the bear. Can anyone help me trace anyone that may know the family? I simply want to trace the bears history.

Thank you.

I am getting a steiff Teddy my very first one for my 18th Birthday (well you have to start somewhere lol) and i have been looking them up on the internet and i know what mohair is but i don’t know what the growler is i have a faint idea that it is something to do with the bear growling lol but apart from that i don’t know how it works or if it effects the value of the bear if anyone knows could you please let me know.

Thank You

Also is the growler worth having, i mean is it any good sound wise?

I ha a dream that a man told me you turn the bear upside down and when you put it the right way up again it causes air to get trapped in a tube and causes the growling effect lol please save my sanity from these crazy dreams.
