Antique Early 1900's Hahn & Amberg or Steiff Cork Stuffed Wool Bear 13"

Description

Antique early 1900's Wool Cork 13" Stuffed Bear, possibly a Hahn and Amberg or Steiff.  We had this bear professionally appraised; see the appraisal below or find the appraisal at the below link (scroll down a few bears on the list).  It's a treasure!  It has a few small holes and some areas where the wool has been worn away as expected for age.  Overall in excellent condition considering this bear is from the early 1900's.
The appraisal from bearsandbuds dot com can be found online and is quoted below......
"The teddy bear your grandmother had cherished for many years appears to be made from a worsted wool fabric. It is not a Steiff, but quite possibly an American maker- Hahn and Amberg. They were known to do Teddy Dolls as well with the teddy bear body and a bisque doll head- dressed with a hood to resemble an Eskimo doll. I believe the stuffing you see is actually the cork stuffing used by this company, very firmly stuffed. The pads are wool felt, the nose and claws a black cord. Five claws date to a very short period of time-1906-07. The nose ring has roots in the European community, when a real preforming bear was lead by a trainer into the community to dance and entertain. The attached chain kept him under control of his master. It is said that bears have a natural sense of rhythm. Much like the hurdy gurdy organ and the monkey performers, this was a form of entertainment! The eyes are shoe buttons sewn inside the head seam, the ears are not cupped. Both these traits are different from Steiff. History of this company goes back to 1878 to Cincinnati, OH by Louis Amberg, with a move to NY in 1893. Hahn joined Amberg from 1907-1910. It then became known as Louis Amberg with the imported bisque doll head now replaced with their own composition doll head, an unbreakable alternative. Hoseman bought the company in 1930. Value for this 13” teddy would be ,200.00."
