Replica’s are copies of pre-exisiting pieces found or recently recovered, some within the Steiff archives themselves! Here at the World of Bears, we are exceptionally lucky to have a fabulous back catalogue of Replica Bears that are / were available at Steiff retailers throughout the world.
Below you will find history in the making, with the different designs and patterns used through the ages, highlighting the development of the Teddy Bear. Some are exceptionally rare, such as ‘Purzel’ the somersaulting bear or the 1951 Musical Teddy Bear with, push tummy mechanism. Some pieces are from more recent times, such as the adorably wee 1924 piece with tummy squeaker from 2015, whilst the 1926 Teddy Bear Clown was released in 1986!!.
Whomever catches your eye will not disappoint, with their added touch of Teddy Bear Trivia.
