Antique Vintage Teddy Bear 18 Straw Stuffed

Antique Vintage Teddy Bear 18 Straw Stuffed. This is a very unusual bear!

It is straw stuffed and is very firm. I think it might have been an old plush bear by the way the hair is matted, there is hair loss throughout. Or could have been a curly mohair that matted.

I'm just not sure. The legs appear to have rods maybe cause when you move one they both move the same with the arms. The head does not move. You can see the straw in the left paw. The rest of the pads are in tact.

Also is a bit dirty. Really cute with the tilted head! I have to capture the flattened matted hair in the photos. See all photos as they are part of the description. Remember vintage items will usually not look new and may show signs of a mysterious past life, may have expected minor and/or unseen or inside imperfections not listed. Item history is unknown to me. It is probable that it has been washed or altered.
