PP60426    WDW - Theodore P Trader Set - 2000 Teddy Bear and Doll Convention - Steiff

THEODORE P TRADER was the name given to Steiff's event-exclusive teddy bear which was released at Disney's Annual Teddy Bear & Doll Convention (held on 19-21 Oct 2000 at EPCOT). Theodore the Pin-Trading Bear stands a proud 12" tall, has jointed arms and legs, and wears his own pin lanyard (black grosgrain ribbon). Theodore came with three removable pins on his lanyard: a pin bearing the Steiff logo on red, a round pin with Theodore's name on it, and a "2000 I was There" pin. There is often (on used bears) a fourth pin, an event pin with a dangle which you received as a gift with your purchase of a bear or doll at the event. (This dangle pin was also and only sold to Conventionears -- the non-cast workers at the event.) Theodore's fur is a 60% wool/40% cotton mohair blend, and he has a growler device inside (which makes noise when you tip him forward then backward). On his left ear is the Steiff button with a number tag reading [individual number] and "L. Ed. of 1500 Pcs". The majority of these bears has been signed (on the foot) by "Tweed Roosevelt", great-grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt and family historian.
