Duncan 

The Trademark Bear 

EAN 681141 

18 inches, 5 way jointed 

Retail $398.00 

Limited Edition 1,907 pieces 

Largest alpaca bear 

Ever created by Steiff! 

First in a series commemorating 

Famous Steiff buttons. 

It is one of the most famous trademarks in the world. The Steiff Button in Ear has 

become a universal symbol for quality in toys. Throughout our company’s history, 

the famous button has evolved over time. To celebrate this progression, we are 

pleased to present a new series of bears – each wearing a collar medallion featuring a 

famous Steiff button. First in the series is what collectors refer to as the “trailing f” 

button used through 1943. This button featured the word “Steiff” with the final “f” 

extended into a long arc under the company name. Proudly wearing his collar 

medallion is Duncan, a stunning brown alpaca bear. With his hand-stitched nose, 

shaved muzzle and deep-set boot button eyes, Duncan is the perfect beginning to the 

series – a “must-have” as you build your collection of future trademark button bears.

William & Henry 

Brothers in a Tin 

EAN 681172 

9 and 7 inches, 5 way jointed 



These brother bears 

come in a nostalgic 

custom tin 

Imagine reaching into grandma’s cupboard, pulling out a dusty old cookie tin, and 

discovering two antique Steiff bears inside! That’s exactly what happened to a 

British couple one lazy summer afternoon four years ago. The couple speculated that 

the bears had been stored away since they were purchased – accounting for their 

absolutely pristine condition. While the original pair of “brother bears” sold for a 

princely sum at auction, you can now own a special limited edition of this charming 

set – complete with a vintage-style tin. William, the reddish brown bear, is the larger 

of the two. His little brother Henry is a bright and happy shade of gold. Together, 

they make an enchanting pair that’s sure to bring a smile to your face and add 

something special to your collection.

A special hangtag 

features a vintage 

photograph of the 

original bear and his owner – 

as seen on “Antiques Roadshow.” 

Antiques Roadshow 

The Heirloom Bear 

EAN 681189 




Sometimes a family heirloom has much more than merely sentimental value. Just ask 

the Trammell family of Memphis, TN. Experts from the popular television program 

“Antiques Roadshow” appraised “grandpa’s old bear” on-air – and delivered some 

surprising news! The Trammels were thrilled to learn that the 1909 Teddy was quite 

valuable. And now you can buy a stunning re-creation of this famous and precious bear 

for your own collection. It’s the second in our series of bears discovered on what fans 

call “The Roadshow,” the highest rated program on PBS. Steiff artisans have 

painstakingly recreated the original bear – right down to moth holes in his foot pad. 

We’ve even milled a custom mohair designed to match the faded and loved fur of 

“grandpa’s old bear.” If you love antique-looking Teddies, then this is the bear for you!

Sebastian 

The Dream Bear 

EAN 681158 




Every collector dreams of that ultimate flea market find – a gorgeous vintage bear, in 

perfect condition, with a desirable Steiff button – priced so low you think there must 

be a “zero” (or two) missing. While for most people this fantasy remains nothing but 

a dream, it did come true for one Atlanta couple in 1996. Their valuable flea market 

find (purchased for just $35.00) was the inspiration for Sebastian, one of the shining 

stars of the 2008 line of North American Limited Editions. Sebastian stands a proud 

26 inches tall. His coat is a creamy white mohair and his nose is stitched with coppercolored 

floss. Around his neck, he wears a silky, sophisticated dark green bow. Why 

not make your Teddy bear dreams come true? Sebastian is quite a find.
