However, they can be continued at the highest level: That’s why we like Steiff’s manufacturing concept so much. “Manufacture” as an old Latin term: “manus”, the hand, “facere” to do, build or produce something. And if this thought, this concept hadn’t already existed, we at Steiff would surely have invented it. Creating something with your hands. Allowing skill, experience and craftsmanship to flow into the creation process. Bringing in passion, commitment and lots of love for detail into the creative process – in order to bring something extraordinary and unique to life. But that’s what it is: For us, manufacture is far more than just a fashionable word.

  • Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3
    Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3 Dear Steiff friends, We have found that our competitions are becoming more and more popular. The number of entrants is constantly growing. Of course, there are some significant differences. For instance, the "Pattern bear" competition in the last issue of the Club magazine was nowhere near as popular as the competition that we staged as part of the advance notice of the Margarete Steiff edition in May. What is always exciting yet hard to answer is the question of what ultimately persuades you, our Club members, to enter a competition. Is it the kind of questions, the prizes on offer, or simply the fact that there may be the occasional additional reminder for the competition? We don't know, but we are already curious to see how many of you enter the competition on page 38. You will probably have to do a little bit of research to find the answers. You could also be a winner if you are devoted to the items in the Margarete Steiff edition. Starting on page 12, you can find out how the “Margarete Steiff Elephant on wheels” came into being, and what charming details make this exclusive piece so special. And once again, I'd like to draw your attention to Steiff's co-operation with National Geographic (page 28). This is a subject that affects us all, and should not be ignored. Along with lots of other information, you'll learn that a Teddy bear once inspired a woman who was to become a best-selling writer to write and illustrate her first book (page 31), and you can immerse yourself in newly-opened "Worlds of Steiff" both at home and abroad (from page 42).

  • Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate
    Donation of the Month Object: Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate Arctophily — the love of teddy bears — began in November 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Mississippi to help settle a border dispute with Louisiana. While there his hosts took him bear hunting. After three days of roughing it with no game in sight, the guides used dogs to track and injure an old she-bear. Tying the ailing animal to a tree, they summoned the president. But Roosevelt decided that it would be unsportsmanlike to kill the captive bear; instead he ordered it be put down to end its suffering. And that was how the legend of Teddy’s bear was born. When Washington Post political cartoonist Clifford Berryman heard the story, he sketched a cartoon titled “Drawing the Line in Mississippi,” a phrase which played up both the border dispute as well as Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a captive bear. In the cartoon a man holds a rope tied around the throat of an adult bear while TR stands with his rifle, his back turned against the sad scene and his hand held out as if to stop what was happening. Berryman’s cartoon immediately captured the public’s attention. In an effort to capitalize on its popularity and further its already-powerful message, his subsequent renderings depicted a cute bear cub rather than an old black bear. It is the image of this baby bear that is most often recalled when folks discuss the history of teddy bears. When Russian immigrants Morris and Rose Michtom saw the cartoon, they were inspired to put a stuffed bear that Rose had made in the window of their of Brooklyn stationary and novelty store.

  • Washington Winter Wonderland — November 2010 to January 2011
    Washington Winter Wonderland — November 2010 to January 2011 Our holiday exhibit featured over one hundred and thirty vintage Steiff stuffed toy animals in whimsical displays throughout the Museum. Steiff is best known as the company that invented the Teddy bear. Local designers, Chris Zaima and Anne Chapin, decorated beautiful Christmas trees as well. John Pitts, former Scenic Artist at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City, painted a beautiful winter mural on the walls of the Museum. This enchanting exhibit ran from Thanksgiving 2010 through January 30, 2011. The exhibit was reviewed here. Steiff Appraisal Day — January 22, 2011 The public was invited to bring their Steiff bears and animals to the Museum to be evaluated by Sandy Booth and Shelley Smith, both long-time collectors whose toys were on display in the current exhibit. They answered questions and verbally appraised items for estimated age and value. This fun, informal event was free. Dedication of the Georgianna Middlebrook Room — November 28, 2010 We dedicated the main entrance gallery in the Museum in honor of Georgianna Middlebrook, a long-time Washington resident and supporter of the Gunn. The Georgianna Middlebrook Room will be dedicated to Washington history. A History of the Washington Agricultural Fair The Georgianna Middlebrook Room is dedicated to Washington history.

  • Another Reason to Celebrate Steiff Inside Celebrating 135 Years Rarities Wooden Toys – a Journey Through Time 2 EDITORIAL
    The magazine for Steiff Club members – May 2015 Club CLUB NEWS Another reason to celebrate STEIFF INSIDE Celebrating 135 years RARITIES Wooden toys – A journey through time 2 EDITORIAL Dear Steiff friends, The response to our members’ survey in February was a resounding success. First of all, my warmest thanks to everyone who took part. The results of the survey were not available as we went to press. However, we expect them to be representative, and we will publish them in the August issue, when we will also publish the names of the winners of the 10 prizes. Now to our latest edition. The highlight is the Teddy bear on the cover page. He belongs to the Margarete Steiff Edition series, which after a break lasting a number of years continued last year with Teddy bear “Franz”. However, for various reasons the item was not distributed through the same channels as the earlier models. So it gives me particular pleasure that we are able to present the new edition to you exclusively this year, and with a pre-purchase right. Despite the very low number issued, we are returning to the proven processing method used in previous years. Find out more about Teddy bear Fritz on pages 6 to 9, and just how you can obtain this fabulous bear – who has a more than unusual accessory. We also take a journey back in time and through the 135-year history of the Steiff company, to introduce you to the most diverse products. Of course, we also provide you with information on the latest exhibitions and events.

The main subject of this thesis are teddy bears and the emotional and psychological connection that forms between individuals and teddy bears and by that prove that the teddy bear is a much bigger and more complex phenomenon than a regular childhood toy. The thesis also runs through the creation of the teddy bear and its remarkable history and how it’s possible not only to use the teddy bear itself but also the psychological bond we form with them in pre- and grade school education.
