In Bacharach, there's a tiny store with no name that I could see, pretty central in the town, that sells mainly bears and a collection of other mdse. Two weeks ago, the owner was selling all her Steiff stock at 50% off and some of the items were leftovers from years ago. Might still be going on.

Oooooh, how very tempting! My family and I have been collecting Steiff for over 50 years and I finally managed to visit the original factory & museum in Giengen an der Brenz in 2018...wonderful things from way back to the first elephant pincushion sewn by Margarete Steiff.

I have a Steiff tiger from probably 60 years ago, made of wool. I was disappointed when, in Germany several years ago, I saw Steiff animals made of other products, and only a few items made of wool. It wasn't a cuddly toy when I was a child, but I have always loved it.
