1930-1940s English Farnell Bear - Item no OB015

 
1930-1940s  English Farnell Bear
 
 an absolute darling.  12" tall, orangey-gold mohair, cotton paw pads. Unfortunately this little boy has more bald patches than hair, and his paws are very worn with areas of darning. He has amber glass eyes and vertical nose stitched in light golden thread. Although obviously showing signs of his age, he is such a lovable little chappie and must have been adored in the past. He comes with his beautifully home-made playsuit which I would date to the 1950s.
