BELLE – THE LIBERTY BEAR

Steiff North American Limited Edition 2010  

13", It last tolled on February 22, 1846, in honor of George Washington’s  birthday. But the symbolism of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall still rings true today. Steiff pays tribute to this monument to freedom with a special commemorative bear we’ve appropriately named “Belle.”  In her paws, Belle holds a collectible die-cast reproduction of the famous bell, which cracked severely upon its first ringing. In keeping with the historic theme, Belle is sewn from cinnamoncolored, distressed mohair for a vintage look.  Subtle airbrushing around her eyes, paw pads, and on her body adds to her antique appeal.  Her slightly oversized cupped ears, sparkling shoe-button eyes, and enchanting expression make her one special bear.
