design. Five way jointed, golden mohair, all original linen paw pads. Long spoon shaped arms ending in four claws, five claws
to feet (one stitch missing to each foot). Long snout, nose stitching with raised outer edges, slight hump to back. Good overall
fur coverage, thinning to back of head. Old hand blown clear glass eyes, one has been cracked in half and glued back together.
Strangely, one ear appears to have been replaced, however, the stitching and discolouration indicates that this was done a
very long time ago and the ear is probably not much newer than the bear itself!

c1940s Eastern European, Mint
This chap is rather a star
in the bear world having featured in an article in TBCI magazine! He was bought in the 1940s, wrapped up, packed away in a
cupboard and forgotten about! When he was rediscovered 60 years later he was still in perfect mint condition, except
that his filling had completely disintegrated and he was as flat as a pancake! He was restuffed, and is now looking for someone
to teach him how to live and love. 19" tall, 5 way jointed, golden cotton plush, hand blown glass eyes. Lovely!
