Silky smooth, lustrous, gentle softness that invites you to touch and feel: all of these are characteristics of mohair. It is a facinating natural fibre obtained from the very long, curly and sumptuous white fur of the angora goat - one of the most valuable races of goats in the world.
A precious and long-lastingly beautiful fibre that has been used since 1901 to make Steiff animals and Teddy bears with wonderfully lustrous, thick and velvety-feeling fur that is a pleasure to both big and small Steiff friends. | | Steiff Classification | Steiff Replica

All Steiff replicas have a white ear tag with black writing to document their special status and the true-to-original 'button in ear' from the respective year of production.

On 14 April 1912 the passenger liner Titanic was speeding towards New York on her maiden transatlantic voyage when, at 11.40pm, she struck an iceberg off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. Water poured through a 90 metre gash below the waterline, and in less than three hours the liner had sunk. The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst shipping tragedies of all time. 1,513 people lost their lives. When news of the catastrophe reached England the whole country was plunged into mourning. Steiff responded by producing black mohair bears to mourn the disaster. These were displayed in shop windows throughout London within weeks of the disaster. Clearly touching a chord, they sold out quickly. Only 494 were produced resulting in them being greatly prized today. Ian Pout, owner of Teddy Bears of Witney, bought one of these remaining original bears at Phillip´s, London in October 1990 - "Othello" is his name.
At JustTeddies we think that this Steiff replica bear is distinguished, charming, and the ultimate piece to have in any collection.
As will all our limited edition and replica Steiff teddy bears and animals, the 1912 replica will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity showing the edition number (e.g. 0001 of 1912). There is also of course, our free gift message service. Finally, this bear will be beautifully presented in a blue premium Steiff gift box exclusive to limited edition and replica bears.
