Vintage 1950s 60s Steiff Tessie Schnauzer Dog Stuffed Toy Animal 22 cm

This is a vintage long hair mohair stuffed Schnauzer dog named Tessie, made by Steiff sometimes between 1954 and 1976, but most likely dating to the late 50s to early 60s. It came from a lot of other Steiff animals that I acquired that date to the 1950s / early 60s. This example is missing its button and tag, so has no identification, but this is an old piece, so the lack of ID can be somewhat forgiven. It measures 8 3/4 in height at its head and has a length of about 10 - this is the second to largest size made of this dog. It has a felt tongue, embroidered nose and red collar. It is made in a light grey colour. It is in very good condition - no wear or mohair loss that I can discern. Nice addition to a Steiff collection.or great for the Schnauzer owner!
