Vintage Steiff Teddy Bear Hot Water Bottle Expected To Fetch £30k At Auction

An adorable vintage Steiff Teddy Bear with hot water bottle is expected to fetch a staggering £30,000 at a Christie's auction later this month. The extremely rare hot water bottle, still with its original tin canister intact, was made in the UK between 1907-1914 and stands at 50cm tall, with black boot button eyes and a laced front.

Great things were expected from the cuddly bear, which once belonged to a Mrs Vernon-Pegge, however little demand meant that the makers discontinued the line having only made 90 examples. Mrs Vernon-Pegge, sadly passed away in 1993 and the bear was later auctioned off by Christie's in December 2006.

The Steiff Teddy Bear is set to go under the hammer 13th October 2010 in Christies London, South Kensington.

Can I reseal a 5 gallon water bottle?

We have a water dispenser that we use a five gallon water bottle on. Is there any way to re-cover the top so that when we put the bottle on the dispenser the water doesn't slosh all over?

yup. there's a type of cap with a hole and cover in the middle. so if for example you're gonna refill the water bottle. simply close it securely with the white cap in the middle of the blue cap. so once you insert the water bottle in the water dispenser. the pin inside the water dispenser pushes it and allows minimal water leakage.
