Please meet Norbert, a beautiful Steiff Original Tedd...y Bear from Germany!! He has no I.D, but he is guaranteed to be Steiff. His EAN would be 5332/01, and he was manufactured somewhere between 1950 and 1965. He is made of blond mohair that has some generalized thinning to it, but overall he's in great shape. He is very clean. He has all his claw stitching. His paw pads are felt. He is straw stuffed. His press squeaker is not working. He is five-way jointed and in very good+ condition for his age. Norbert is about 9 inches tall and weighs 4 ounces. Could he be the one for you??? He may be an older bear, but he is looking for a home where he can go into training for next year's New York City Teddy Bear Marathon. He's sure he'll be a record breaker! (Run, Bear, Run!) :0)

*****PLEASE NOTE: In case you don't know, depending on where you live, ebay is now collecting taxes in some states. When I send you an invoice or if you just pay for your item, I am unaware if you are being charged taxes or at what tax rate, as I am NOT the one collecting them. Sadly, I may have lost a good customer over this, so I am including this note in my listings so there's no confusion. So far, I only know about New Jersey (where I live) and New York (where the buyer who was so upset about this lives) are charging taxes. I'm sure there are other states as well. :0(
A quick note about shipping: Don't you hate it when you're overcharged by a seller on shipping???? A gazillion dollars to cross the pond or go across the country. It's ridiculous. I am striving to be accurate in my listing, but sometimes ebay's calculator is way off (especially for those outside the U.S.). When i calculate shipping, I add in extra weight for the box. If you're interested in an item outside the U.S., don't be scared by what the calculator is telling you. Please contact me and I'll find out exactly what it would cost to post to your country and make a note in the listing. I'll never overcharge you. If I quote you a number and i can get it to you cheaper, I'll immediately refund the difference.
Please note I am not an expert in teddy bears...I am only downsizing. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Please see pictures. They are part of the description. Additional pictures on request.
Payment is due within THREE days of auction end. PayPal only. Combined shipping is always available. I only charge actual shipping costs. If it turns out the shipping estimator is wrong above $1, I will refund you the difference.
I am willing to ship internationally, but please ask if I post to your country and what it would cost BEFORE you bid, as it could be very expensive. Ebay's calculator can be off either too high or too low!
