Please meet Sienna, a fantastic HUGE antique/vintage German Teddy bear!! She's from the 1940s (or more likely much before). I'm not sure of the exact maker, and she's certainly not a Steiff, but perhaps Hermann or some other high-end maker. She is made of a chocolate brown mohair that is in amazing condition, except for a little area of on her forehead and on the seam by her right eye. She has glass eyes. Her right ear has been roughly tacked down a...t the outer end, but the rest of the ear is secure. Her paw pads are velvet. She has no growler at all. This is a very high-quality bear. She is five-way jointed and in very good condition+ for her age. Sienna is a whopping 24 inches tall and weighs 2 pounds, 8 ounces. Please note the shipping costs you see are inaccurate. Because of her large size, I will send her to you by FedEx, which for me is discounted and much less expensive than the post office, but I would have to know your zip code before I could give an estimate. Please inquire. Could she be the one for you??? She is looking for a home where chocolate is one of the four major food groups! :0)

With regret, I am downsizing my teddy bear collection. I have many different types, which I will be listing in the coming weeks (or months or maybe even years). For now, I am only listing them once to see if anyone is interested, but I may relist them at some point in time in the future. I live in a smoke-free home, but I do have cats who are barred from the bear room and bunny room(!). And I've had to reorganize my listing so I can save all my info, thank you ebay...not.
*****PLEASE NOTE: In case you don't know, 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.
To all my British friends, to make things even more complex and annoying, starting 1 January 2021, ebay will be collecting VAT on sales going into the UK from the US, so now not only will there be duty and a charge of £8 from the Royal Mail, but VAT will be charged as well. Yikes!
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 be aware in some countries there are custom charges that will be due when your package arrives, which I know is AWFUL. I am not part of the Global Shipping Program at this time because you cannot combine shipping. Many times overseas buyers buy more than one bear, and they would be charged more than once for shipping which in my opinion makes things much more expensive. I will, however, pass along any discount I receive on international shipping (it's not a huge amount, but everything helps), and refund you the difference. It seems like it is also taking an extra-long time for a bear to get overseas because of the current crazy conditions, so keep that in mind.
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!
