THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE AND HARD TO FIND ANTIQUE MOHAIR TEDDY BEAR. MARCUS IS BELIEVED TO BE AN EARLY 1914 -1916 TEDDY BEAR MADE BY THE PEACOCK TOY COMPANY OF ENGLAND OR AN EARLY RARE WHISTLER BEAR FROM THE FRENCH TOY AND NOVELTY COMPANY NY.....
THESE TWO ANTIQUE BEARS WERE VERY SIMILAR IN LOOKS AND I HAVE HAD SOME WONDERFUL MESSAGES WITH SOME GREAT INFO FROM ANTIQUE TEDDY BEAR COLLECTORS WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THESE RARE BEARS.. Thank you so much for your help. AFTER THE 1930S CHAD VALLEY BOUGHT OUT PEACOCK... &AS ALWAYS I WELCOME COMMENTS FROM MY COLLECTOR FRIENDS... This is a copy of some of the helpful information from a fellow antique teddy bear collector....
Thank you so much for your helpful information on this rare bear. Very beautiful bear but he isnt English he is a Rare Whistler bear made by the National French Toy and Novelty Company New York...
Year is right, they went out of business in 1920's... They always did put clackers in ears... They also made the googly eyed bears....
Ken always thought they looked like Peacock bears.. They do but I have peacock bears and they are different... THESE BEARS ALSO LOOK SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE EARLY AETNA BEARS AND HECLA BEARS. THIS RARE BEAR HAS OLD CLACKERS IN BOTH OF ITS EARS... THEY NO LONGER WORK BUT ARE EASY TO FEEL IN THE LARGE EARS.... HIS EYES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LONG LIFE OF THIS BEAR AND ARE NOW OLD BUTTONS.....NOSE LOOKS LIKE A PARTIAL FABRIC MATERIAL.. HIS MOHAIR IS A PRETTY SILVERY COLOR NOW WITH AGE... MAY HAVE STARTED OUT MORE OF A GOLD BLONDE OR APRICOT COLOR....
HE IS FULLY JOINTED AND HAS LONG CLAWS AND VERY LONG FEET.. SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS KEN YENKE MENTIONS OF THE EARLY PEACOCK TEDDY BEARS ARE.. LONG BROAD ARMS AND LEGS. EARLY BEARS HAD CLACKERS IN THE EARS. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS THIS RARE TEDDY BEAR HAS ALL THOSE IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS..
A VERY HARD TO FIND TOY & A TRUE GEM FOR THOSE COLLECTORS THAT APPRECIATE THE ANTIQUE & VINTAGE TEDDY BEARS & TOYS FROM THE PAST.... I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER ONE OF EITHER OF THESE EARLY PEACOCK BEARS OR THE RARE WHISTLER BEARS FROM THE FRENCH NOVELTY TOY CO IN THIS NICE OF CONDITION COME UP FOR SALE FOR A LONG TIME.. FULLY JOINTED AND MEASURES APPROX 16 INCHES..... JUST A GREAT RARE ANTIQUE BEAR TOY : BETTER IN PERSON THAN PHOTOS SHOW.... WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY NICE ANTIQUE /VINTAGE TEDDY BEAR COLLECTION.
VINTAGE PRE OWNED TOYS WILL USUALLY SOME SHOW SOME AGE WEAR.... MISSING ORIGINAL EYES SOMEWHERE ALONG HIS LONG LIFE WERE REPLACED WITH BUTTONS... COUPLE SMALL HOLES IN ONE OF THE ARM FELT PAW PADS... HIS MOHAIR COVERAGE IS GOOD...
HEAD IS HARDER STUFFED THAN BODY PRB STRAW AND KAPOK.... PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS FOR BEST DETAILS AND DESCRIPTION. THIS TREASURE IS FOR THE SERIOUS TEDDY BEAR COLLECTOR WHICH SEEKS OUT THE HARDER TO FIND RARE GOOD QUALITY ANTIQUE TEDDY BEARS AND VINTAGE TOYS.....
