Steiff Event: March 29th featuring Dick Franz

I am so excited to announce the Spring 2014 Steiff Event in which I will be hosting the incredible Steiff US based archivist Dick Franz.  Dick is the author of "The Readers Service for the Steiff Club Companion".  Dick is also a long time collector and has been featured on Martha Stewart Living, Antiques in the Attic and QVC.

Our event is March 29th, 2014 from 10- 6 p.m.  Dick Franz will be from 11-2 only and will be appraising up to two items that you currently own.  Dick will also be more than happy to sign your pieces you either bring in (limit to two) or your purchases made that day.

Come see what's new at Steiff for 2014 as many new items will be on view.  The adorable, Steiff 2014 Event Bear, Bert (pictured left) is artificial silk plush , dark beige, five joints, surface washable, 21 centimeters tall  (approximately 8.5 inches), limited to the year 2014, gold-plated "button in the ear" and only available for club events.  Bert is $99.00 plus tax.

Currently I have nine available for purchase.  I will, however, take orders the day of the event.  Bert looks wonderful with last years 2013 Event bear Flora who also happened to be artificial silk, which I have currently for sale as well for $99.00 plus tax.

Bert would be a handsome addition to any Steiff collection, as well as any Teddy bear collection.  As we all know some people only collect the event pieces so this is a not to missed opportunity.


Light refreshments will be served that day, goody bags while they last, and Steiff Door prizes.

Also available is the 2014 Steiff Club Edition Chestnut. Chestnut is made of the finest green mohair, five joints, pads covered in lace, black shoe button eyes, felt "chestnut" leaves, surface washable, and production is limited to the year 2014 with a gold plated "button in the ear".

 Chestnut is 33 centimeters tall and only available for purchase if your a Steiff Club Member.  Steiff Club Membership  is $69.  Membership includes the free Annual Gift. Chestnut, however, is ordered that day and is priced at  $225.00 plus tax.

  Please come to visit, share your teddy bear stories, and  give one of our teddy bears a new "forever home".  Hope to see you that day.
