DESCRIPTION
THIS RARE ANTIQUE JOPI/MORITZ PAPPE TYPE HELVETIC MUSICAL MECHANICAL TEDDY BEAR MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 13 INCHES IN HEIGHT. HE HAS BEEN WELL LOVED.
I AM UNSURE OF HIS ORIGIN, BUT HIS SHAPE SUGGESTS HE WAS MADE IN ENGLAND IN THE 1930S. HIS ARMS ARE SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN HIS LEGS, HE IS DEFINITELY PRE 1950S.
HIS MOHAIR IS A NICE LONG QUALITY WAVEY WHITE FUR. HE IS FIVE WAY JOINTED AND JOINTS ARE FIRM AND FREE MOVING. AND HE HAS PAINTED BACK BLACK PU...PIL GLASS EYES.
HE HAS A SWISS MUSIC BOX IN HIS TUMMY, WHICH PLAYS A TUNE WHEN YOU GENTLY SQUEEZE HIS TUMMY. IT ALSO WORKS PERFECTLY - BUT I CANNOT WORK OUT THE NAME OF THE TUNE HE PLAYS. IT PLAYS CLEAR AND IN TUNE.
HE ONLY HAS FOOT PADS AND THEY ARE MADE FROM VELVET WITH THICK CARDBOARD INSERTS TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO STAND.
HIS CUTE LITTLE STITCHED NOSE AND MOUTH ARE INTACT AND ARE COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. THEY ARE THICK BLACK COTTON. HE HAS NO PAW STITCHING.
PLEASE NOTE;- HE DISPLAYS NICELY, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEEN LOVED TOO WELL BY HIS LITTLE OWNER. THE MOHAIR BACKING ON HIS ARMS IN PARTICULAR HAS WORN THROUGH AND HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PATCHED IN WHITE FUR. HIS LEFT LEG ALSO HAS SOME PATCHING. BUT HIS BODY AND HEAD ARE STILL REALLY GOOD.
HE IS FILLED MOSTLY WITH WOOD WOOL AND IT FEELS LIKE SOME KAPOK IN HIS TUMMY. HE IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE REPAIRS I MADE TO KEEP HIS STUFFING FROM FALLING OUT
