Steiff Mr Googly

EAN036620

Size: 31cm /12"

Limited Edition of 1925 worldwide

One of the earliest known examples of a googly-eyed bear was produced in Britain in 1916. But it is believed that googly eyes first made their appearance in dolls much earlier. Googly eyes were supposedly created to capture the wide-eyed innocence and wonder of childhood. Over the years, many Teddy bear manufacturers created designs that featured these whimsical eyes - including Steiff. Two notable Steiff examples include a googly blue-eyed Petsy from the 1920s and a fanciful rabbit from the 1950s. But Steiff never made a bear quite like Mr. Googly - until now! 12 inch Mr. Googly is sewn from distressed mohair to give him an aged appearance. This new creation, all about laughter and fun, is sure to make you smile! His slightly oversized head adds to his wonderfully quirky appeal. Mr. Googly is certain to add a bit of joy and originality to your Steiff collection.
