No, he's not made by Steiff. I would like to see a front view of his face, a good picture of his glass eyes and the best pic you can get of his tag remnant. You say when you look at his straight on there are remnants of a tag--where is the tag located? Is it cloth? Is it sewn in? What color is it? Also, I would like to see a pic of the "metal loop." Is this something that can be pulled (to play music)?  Is this just armature that has poked through?

That is Dismal Desmond and I know Gund made one very similar because I have the reproduction from the 1980's  that is very much like yours - I will see if I have a picture of the Gund one somewhere.

Bethy, I thought of Dismal Desmond, but he has spots. Can Dismal Desmond have spots?

 

He has beautiful blown glass eyes!
