Classic Teddy Bears

Horace is the 1904 Steiff bear of Priscilla Longfellow Thorp-- the granddaughter of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Horace was well traveled and rubbed shoulders with some famous people of the early 20th century. He even shook paws with his namesake, Theodore Roosevelt! Steiff has reproduced Horace as he appears in turn of the century family photographs. You can't help but be charmed by his velvet paw pads. These are an exact reproduction of Horace's paw pads-which were patched over by a nanny in the 1920's from material from an old velvet cape. Horace comes with book which tells his life story in words and pictures. A North American Limited Edition of 1,500 pieces. For children 6 and over-contains small detachable parts.
