This is the rare and hard to find but highly sought after STEIFF SYLT the Cow (Syltr Kuh)  and the matching tin box from many years ago. It is Steiff Number 996467. Made of woven fur.  Limited edition of 1500, this cow is number 1256. 

Sylt was made exclusively for the northern German isle of Sylt and was originally sold at the official Steiff shop Westerland on the Isle of Sylt. 

The cow measures approximately 13.5 inches (32 cm) long x 10 inches high. 

This cow was only available for purchase on the isle of Sylt  so it is very special and I was lucky to locate it so many years ago.

Never exposed to smoke, perfume or scent of any kind. The cow has been in a display cabinet since I purchased it.
