Jack – The Rare Black Alpaca Bear: A Brief Description

The Steiff Jack Bear (EAN 662546) is a striking and highly sought-after collector’s piece, released in 2007 as a limited edition. Distinguished by its rare and luxurious black alpaca fur, this bear stands apart from traditional Steiff designs, exuding an air of sophistication and exclusivity.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Jack is crafted from the finest black alpaca, a premium material that is both exquisitely soft and durable. The deep, inky black hue enhances the bear’s dramatic presence, making it a particularly rare and desirable Steiff creation. Unlike the more commonly seen mohair Steiff bears, this model’s alpaca fur has a denser and slightly velvety texture, adding to its unique appeal.

Detailing

Jack’s face is carefully sculpted, with a beautifully hand-stitched nose in jet black that seamlessly blends with its fur, creating an understated yet powerful expression. His shiny black glass eyes are deeply set, giving him a soulful and mysterious gaze. The detailing around the eyes and muzzle enhances his depth and character. His limbs are fully jointed, allowing for a range of poses, while his firm yet slightly yielding body makes him a delight to hold and admire. The bear’s paw pads are crafted from a smooth felt-like material, delicately stitched to maintain Steiff’s renowned standard of quality.

Limited Edition Features

Jack was released in 2007 as part of a strictly limited edition, making him an exceptional collector’s item. Each bear is individually numbered and comes with an authenticity certificate, signifying its place within Steiff’s prestigious limited-edition range. The bear proudly wears Steiff’s iconic “Button in Ear”—a hallmark of the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship. In keeping with his exclusive status, he features the coveted gold-plated button, further distinguishing him as a premium release.

Presentation and Significance

Jack was is presented in a Steiff gift box, designed to protect and showcase this rare bear in pristine condition.
