拍品专文

Steiff Record animals were first introduced in 1912 with a monkey, Record Peter. The popular Record Series was produced in a variety of animals, the most desireable being the Teddy, produced in 1913.
When pulled the teddy bear moves backwards and forwards creating the appearance the bear is steering himself.
