Mohair Camel On Wheels 1908
 

£380

Limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide

Camels, a symbol for distant lands and great adventures, were of great significance in the early Steiff range.  Even the first registered trademark (in the 1892 catalogue) shows a camel.  A similar camel on wheels belongs to the collection of moving animals that Wilhelm II., King of Württemberg, ordered for his grandchildren in 1911.  In the jubilee year of 2005 Steiff proudly offer a replica of an original from 1908.

The camel is 50 cm high, with an embroidered saddle cloth and cast iron wheels.  He has mohair fur, is stuffed with wood shavings & has glass eyes & a gold-plated "Button in Ear".  Surface washable.
