    Okay, I can't tell my friends who come over too much about this bear.
    Does not have any tags, I seen this bear before somewhere but can't remember.
    anyone know the maker ?

    I don’t think it’s a Steiff though their early stuff seemed to look a little rough to me.

    I'd say no to Steiff... My best guess is that he's from the 1950's or thereabouts.

    Billy, can you tell if the nose is plastic or rubber?

    He is cute, but definitely not Steiff. Steiff bears have the 'Knopf im Ohr' - the Steiff button in the ear, with a yellow tag, sometimes a white one. Those tags are worn or lost in older bears, but the buttons remain. Steiff bears never have plastic noses.

    Found this nice page on Steiff, good info, not an endless read;):
