Before Teddy Roosevelt, there was no such thing as a “Teddy” bear. But all that changed, more than a century ago, when Roosevelt went to Mississippi for a bear hunt. Naturally, his hosts wanted Mr. President to find a bear to collect. However, none was to be found, except for a lone baby bear cub. When his hosts presented the cub to him as a trophy to be taken, Roosevelt, in a true show of sportsmanship, declined and in saving the life of the baby bear, he found himself in the political comic strips of the day, as a savior of the cub. Thus, “Teddy’s bear,” (or the “Teddy bear”) was born. This set which honors both Teddy Roosevelt and the cub whose life he chose to spare. The Teddy bear cub, also made from mohair, is based on the political cartoons of the day. The chest is adorned by a President Teddy Roosevelt button and ribbon in the colors of the American flag. It’s a must have set that no Steiff collector, or Teddy bear fan, can be without.

The set comes in a box with certificate of aurthenticity.
