Steiff Bear ID Help

[toyranch]

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me ID this Steiff bear?  No tag or ear button. Growler works. 12.5" tall.  Thanks!~

It appears to be a Steiff Original Classic Teddy which was made for quite a few years - Maybe 1968 to 1977 thereabouts - without the button it is hard to narrow down the age.  They are fairly commonly found in certain sizes.  He appears to be in good shape!

Thanks!  I have 2 of these and a smaller one, all in nice shape but all without buttons or tags.  Appreciate the help!

Just for a bit of comparison, here is a set of the Teddy Originals - this is the boxed set 0203/00.

This bear is 11 inches tall with silver tone ear button.  Can anyone help me identify it along with value.

Hi, 

The links below might help you but remember the value guide is only that, a guide !

Blank Buttons are used for SECONDS (like clothing seconds that have the label cut) rejected in the Quality Control Program. These can be found on the market so be careful and demand only The Best as seconds will not retain value.
