The Oct. 13 Christie's sale titled Steiff: an Important Private Collection of 1,300 stuffed toys is said to be Greenwood's. It will include some rare pieces from the German toy manufacturer, mostly bears made pre-WWII, valued at about $1.9 million, writes the New York Times blog.

One teddy bear with a hot-water bottle may fetch as much as £30,000 ($47,602) . A "possibly unique" circa 1925 Harlequin teddy bear is estimated at £50,000 - £80,000 ($78,950 - $126,320).
