This reddish-blond mohair teddy bear from Steiff is a genuine acrobat who can turn as many as eight somersaults in a row! His clockwork mechanism is wound by turning his right arm clockwise while holding his left arm still. This will make him somersault all by himself! Hugo Steiff created the original Steiff somersaulting bear; he developed its winding mechanism and patented it on November 14, 1908.
This Steiff mohair somersaulting bear is hand made in Germany and carries the signature "Button in Ear" trademark and chest tag.
