Teddy Bear Steiff? 16" Tall Antique Vintage

Vintage bear. He is about 16" tall, and joined at the neck, shoulders, and hips. He was found with several Steiff toys, and has a small piece of metal in one ear, but no Steiff button, so I do not know if he is a Steiff or not. Please view the photos and judge for yourself. This vintage bear is in as-found condition. He shows overall wear to his fur. His paws have some areas where the fur has worn through, showing the straw stuffing. Please see photos for more details about the condition of this bear.
