Here is an old and well loved jointed teddy bear. He stands approximately 22 inches tall and dates from the 1930's, I believe. Unfortunately, he has no label to identify his maker.
As you can see his mohair fur has depleted over the years, leaving him quite threadbare. He has amber and black glass eyes. There are remnants of a stitched nose, which appears to be horizontally sti...tched (please see image). Sadly, he has lost his stitched mouth. His muzzle is quite bare, not sure if this is how it should be or from too many kisses! I can feel a squeaker/voice box, quite high up, between his shoulders, but he no longer speaks! His head appears to be filled with wood wool and his body and limbs kapok.At sometime his previous owner has lovingly recovered his paw pads with a pink coloured felt. There are some holes in places on these and I can see a darker soft brown covering, which I would assume was the original pads.
He is fully jointed, with disc joints to his limbs. I can confirm that his head turns, but his right arm and leg have had a few extra stitches which have affected their movement a little.
I have included images of him all round, which I believe give a clear indication of his well loved condition! He really is a charming old Bear and full of character. Sadly he is no longer suitable as a toy, but will make a worthy addition to a collection and hopefully a new name, chosen by you.
