A Vintage Steiff Mohair Tiger

This cute Tiger was made by Steiff in the 1950s, a German company that is well known for its high quality. It began in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who started by making elephant pincushions and developed into creating many animal themed toys for children. 
Steiff toys are mostly hand-made, this particular toy having been made from mohair and whilst looking slightly worn and missing its tags, it is still a lovable toy!
