Gonzo is the most divine little white Steiff I have seen for ages who stands 13 inches tall and dates to c.1908.
The old boy has a fairly good covering of mohair, which is more than can be said for his filling, which is almost non existant! Goodness only knows were it has all gone, but the lack of it really adds to his character. The felt pads are original with a few minor holes, and he has a non working squeaker.
Of course the great thing about Gonzo is his face, and in particular that wonderful long nose! He has wide set ears (no button) and original boot button eyes and tan stitched nose.
This dapper ted comes dressed in a beautifully made grey wool suit and crisp white shirt.
