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!

The artisans at Steiff have reproduced Horace as he appears in turn-of-the-century family photographs. You can't help but be charmed by this large 24" bear's velvet paw pads. They are an exact reproduction of the original Horace's paw pads, which were patched over by a nanny in the 1920s using material from an old velvet cape. For children 6 and over; contains small, detachable parts.

This mohair Steiff teddy bear is hand made in Germany and carries the signature "Button in Ear" trademark and chest tag. Horace is packaged in a beautifully embroidered black drawstring bag to commemorate this Steiff North American Exclusive bear.
