Steiff is known for making high-quality toys and valuable collectibles, and is most famous for its bears. That's because Steiff actually invented the stuffed bear in 1902. Founded by Margarete Steiff in the late 1800s, the company has since patented over sixteen thousand different stuffed animal designs.
