A friend of mine who is a serious Steiff collector, has gone to collector conventions, etc., tells me that the last she heard you can't tour the factory unless you've got some serious connections. About twenty years ago, a Steiff staffer (say that three times quickly) walked her through part of the factory on the way to their repair shop to get her turtle re-shelled, but that they're not even doing repairs like that any more. However, she says that the museum is just fantastic for Steiff-lovers.

We go to the Giegen Steiff factory outlet on each trip to Germany. It is very nice, clean (what in Germany isn't?) and the mechandise neatly displayed in bins and shelves. The prices are extremely good and they FINALLY take credit cards after years of cash only.
