I have a Margarete Steiff Snow White and Rose Red with Bear

Customer Question

I have a Margarete Steiff Snow White and Rose Red with Bear No 0563/1200.
Can you tell me what they are worth. They are in mint condition still have the original box. The short time they were out of the box they were kept under glass. Having not looked at them for sometime I am only guessing but I think the dolls are around 24" but more.

Good Morning,
Do you have the 3 piece set or just the bear? Also can you comment on the box condition? any wear or staining on the box?
Thanks,
Frank

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

I do have all (3) pieces. The box is in very good condition - no staining. I'm at work so I could take a couple of pictures tonight if that would help and if I can figure out how to attach them. Not real good on the computer.

 

Thanks,


Deborah

Thank you for the information,
I have a pretty good idea of what you have from the information given. I saw your set sell at a small auction in England recently and the pieces were expecting only between 195-225 and the set actually sold for over 300 dollars. They had the original box as well in excellent condition. The current collectible market has been very down for many items but the Steiff pieces have always had a strong market because of their high demand and their low production. If you were going try to resell the pieces yourself I would say you could expect between 175-200 as a fair market price. But as seen in the auction you could be looking at 100 dollars per item in an auction type setting or in a retail antique or collectible setting.
Best of Luck with the dolls,
Frank

Hello Deborah,
I hope the information on the Steiff pieces was helpful. If you could leave me any feedback on the appraisal I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Frank
