Puppets, dolls, and wheeled toys of every sort also grace these pages, accompanied by large studio figures and enchanting mechanical villages filled with busy figures.Also included in this expansive work are a preface by Susanna Steiff Pinyuh, the great grand niece of the company's founder, Margarete Steiff, catalog copy displaying many items produced by the firm, and an examination of the company's identifying marks. Values are included in the captions. This delightful book is a must for every toy collector.
