Steiff Camel
This
a Steiff camel on wheels. It is from 1911-1916. It was made from
wool felt and as can be seen has had better days. The owner had another
person attempt a repair that was only able to stabilize the damage. The
owner asked me if I could do anything to make the animal look better on
display.
I was able to obtain Steiff replacement felt and recovered the main areas of damage as can be seen to the left and below. I make spot repairs on other areas that were in good shape and I cleaned and rejuvenated the fur. I also repaired the blanket and replaced the bridal which was missing. My research showed the bridal was on the camel when it came from the factory. The owner was pleased to see that the camel was something that she could display with pride.
