           Ladenburger Spielzeugauktion GmbH  

                               

    I periodically receive e-mails from Rebekah Kaufman, a Steiff historian, Blogger, and Dealer. I had once asked Rebekah for some information about a Steiff doll, and from then on I was on her mailing list. Her blog can be found at mysteiffLife.com.  In one of her last-mails, Rebekah wrote about Landenburger Spielzeugauktion GmbH, a fairly recent (1989) new auction house. Her e-mail related to an auction, naturally about Steiff dolls, and I decided to check the auction out. 

The Ladenburger web address can be found at https://www.spielzeugauktion.de/ as well as on LiveAuctioneers.com

In the "relatively" short time that the company has been in business, it has done very well, and established itself as a quality auction house.
