Meet Baby Alfonzo…a Limited Edition Steiff replica made in honor of the greatest tale of a girl and her bear there ever was! In 1908, the Grand Duke of Russia commissioned a 13” bear from Steiff to be made for his 4 year old daughter Princess Xenia Georievna which was named Alfonzo. Xenia and Alfonzo were quite inseparable. In the summer of 1914 the princess traveled to Buckingham Palace to for a visit with her English cousins, the family of King George V, and of course Alfonzo accompanied her. While visiting, her father was tragically assassinated in St Petersburg in 1919. Neither Princess nor bear ever returned to Russia and Alfonzo remained by her side her entire life as her best friend and the only connection she still had to her father.
Steiff created a Limited Edition replica of this incredibly special bear especially for Ian Pout’s Teddy Bears of Whitney shop in 1995 which is the home of the original Alfonzo. Only 5000 of this replica were made, one of which is offered for sale here! This “Baby Alfonzo” bear measures 9.5” and is stuffed with the traditional excelsior which the original Alfonzo was made with.

This bear is a must for any bear collector or lover! $205 or Best Offer
