THE LAST THREE PHOTOS SHOW A SMALL SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE OTHER ANTIQUE / VINTAGE TEDDY BEARS AND COLLECTOR TOYS YOU WILL FIND IN MY OTHER AUCTIONS.. THIS IS A RARE AND HARD TO FIND ANTIQUE MOHAIR TEDDY BEAR.. HE HAS PERSONALITY PLUS AND IS VERY ENDEARING IN PERSON. THIS ONE LOOKS TO BE AN EARLY 1900 -1920'S TEDDY BEAR..
WITH EARLY TEDDY BEARS IT CAN BE HARD TO FIGURE OUT THE MAKER ETC. WHEN NO BUTTONS OF TAGS REMAIN.... BUT BECAUSE OF HIS LARGE HUMP CHEST AND HUMP BACK,, LONG ARMS AND SMALLER FEET PAWS AND RARE FABRIC TYPE NOSE ETC...I BELIEVE IT IS EARLY AMERICAN MADE BEAR... AS ALWAYS PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT WHEN NO TAGS OR BUTTONS REMAIN... &AS ALWAYS I WELCOME COMMENTS FROM MY COLLECTOR FRIENDS... THIS RARE OLD MOHAIR BEAR HAS A VERY SWEET LOOK AND DISPLAYS WONDERFULLY JUST AS HE IS... BUT SOME COLLECTORS MAY WANT TO RESTORE HIS ORIGINAL PAW PADS ETC....
FOR ME THIS PRIMITIVE UNIQUE LOOK WAS PART OF HIS CHARM AND WHY I BOUGHT HIM YEARS AGO... HIS EYES LOOK LIKE OLD BLACK SHOE BUTTONS... ONE IS HANGING DOWN A LITTLE..... NOSE LOOKS LIKE AN OLD FABRIC MATERIAL.. PARTIAL LITTLE BIT OF BLACK MOUTH STITCHING STILL THERE... SLICED IN TYPE CUPPED EARS....BIG HUMPY CHEST AND HUMP BACK. HIS MOHAIR IS NOT TOO BAD FOR HIS AGE... A LITTLE MISSING HERE AND THERE.... HIS PAW PADS HAVE BEEN PRIMITIVELY RECOVERED SOMEWHERE ALONG HIS LONG LIFE WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD SWEATER... YOU CAN SEE THE PARTIAL FELT MATERIAL UNDERNEATH AND THE OLD EXCELSIOR STUFFING....
HE ALSO HAS AN OLD NECK SWEATER THAT MATCHES HIS PAW PADS..... THIS CAN BE EASILY REMOVED JUST TIED AROUND NECK..... GIVES HIM A FUN PRIMITIVE COLORFUL LOOK... HE DISPLAYS GREAT WITH HIS NATURAL SLOUCH...
LONG ARMS AND BIG HUMP BACK AND HUMPED CHEST ETC... EVEN WITH SOME WEAR / AGE FLAWS HE IS A VERY HARD TO FIND TOY & A TRUE GEM FOR THOSE COLLECTORS THAT APPRECIATE THE ANTIQUE & VINTAGE TEDDY BEARS & TOYS FROM THE PAST....
FULLY JOINTED AND MEASURES APPROX 20 INCHES..... JUST A GREAT RARE ANTIQUE BEAR TOY : BETTER IN PERSON THAN PHOTOS SHOW....
