10” blank button Steiff bear

10” Steiff bear with blank button in ear. All 4 pads are original with original brown floss claws on three limbs. The left arm is missing all claws and I honestly do not believe they were ever there. His is slumpy, but solid with a now silent side squeaker.One side of his mouth floss has been replaced with black floss. His center seam on the body has been loosely restitched in a few places and there is a small hole where the felt pad meets the mohair on his left wrist. Original boot button eyes.Ted is circa 1905. He comes wearing an absolutely stunning antique hand stitched romper. It is so lovely with seamstress detailing. The button or ribbon holes which encircle the waist are all hand finished in red thread. These early teds are getting harder to locate, especially with blank button in ear. $1199 postage paid 10” blank button Steiff bear in FAB antique romper
