Macys 1940s Steiff Christmas store front Lion, story goes that there were only 4of these lions made for Macy in 1940s or 50s theres a pull string that makes the jaw move and the Lion Roar, the roar is a little weak now but still works. It's almost life size and in pretty good shape. It belongs to a friend of mine that is looking to sale it, but has had a hard time finding any info on it.any help and possibly an appraisal and offers would be great. Thank you very much.
