This is an Original IDEAL NOVELTY & TOY Co Teddy Bear datingto 1906-07. He is very fine conditionwith only losses to his foot pads on the left side. I understand that this can be replaced withvintage felt and returned to show condition. His shoe button eyes and stitched nose and mouth remain in good shape. Review the photos for best evaluation onCondition.I have also included old photographs of the Bear with hisoriginal owner. One as a toddl...er hugginghim and the other with him dressed in an overcoat with the Bear at his feetdated 1912. My Mother got this bear fromthe original owner who wanted her to put in her extensive doll collection. Attached is a copy of an Evaluation and Appraisal for $1, 700, be sure to readthe story and details along with a history.Also an excerpt of the Bear appearing on the USPS Stamp (I believe is the same as this bear).
