The tour @ Steiff Museum

This is the sewing room of Margarete Steiff.

The tour starts from this room.
Because of an early morning in a weekday, the tour was only us.


All began from this small elephant made of felt.


He is BEAR55PB as a guide.
Surprisingly, he could speak even Japanese!


"55PB" was made as the prototype of a teddy bear.
The product feature was enciphered as "55PB."
"55PB" means the height sitting down is 55CM, P(Plush), and B(Beweglich = Movable ).
I have BEAR29PB of a replica.
Well, his height sitting down is 29CM.


After explanation finishes, he gradually retreated from us.

Looking up, there was...
