About the Item

Life-sized, mohair Steiff Elk, probably from the 1960s. Steiff referred to these life-size stuffed creatures as, “studio animals” and were very expensive when new.

Our particular Steiff Elk, is 5’ long and over 4’ tall and admittedly has had some repairs during the last almost 60 years.
