z(1920) Steiff Polar Bear. Laura Fitzpatrick Tara Toys Her mohair is superbHere is a large Steiff Polar Bear showcased by Laura Fitzpatrick. He has his trailing f button. His nose & mouth stitching is replaced and his neck mechanism is very stiff. Has a lot of repairs and tatty areas. This is how he usually sits propped up on his Steiff ball. Polar has his jacket shirt that some little hands made for him. he is posing with a velvet trout pincushion. Maybe Dean's but I couldn't find any marks. It almost looks like George
