Today is the 100th Anniversary of Margarete Steiff's death


She was the founder and is the guiding spirit of the Steiff company which designs and builds some of the world's finest teddy bears.

They are the "knopf im ohr" company.

I love those old teddy bears from the 30's My mother said she had one..a great deal cuter than the ones today.

Those teddybears are still around, still cute and still made in Germany, largely by hand. All my four grandchildren have one. They were brought into the country (legally) in suitcases after vacations.
