A unique early twentieth-century Steiff teddy bear was auctioned for £3,200.
Bidders from the United States and France were interested in the 114-year-old German toy.
There were six commission bids, four telephone bids, three internet bids, according to Vectis, a toy and collectables specialist in Thornaby, Teesside.
The family of his original owner's niece, who was given the bear in 1908, sold the cinnamon-colored bear.
