I had the pleasure of owning this 1920's Steiff Clown bear for two years. He has now moved on to join another Hug. He will always be one of my favorite restorations.
It took quite a long time to get his mohair clean. It eventually went from grey to cream. He really fluffed up too.
He was quite dirty and dusty when I received him. Almost 100 years of dust certainly does show.
Glass cabinets keep Bears happy.
