Bing Teddy Bear Pre 1920, 16

All five joints work well. Original boot button eyes and double-stitched nose.

The woodwool filling is firm. The upper right paw pad is original, the other one and the foot pads were replaced with felt very long ago so the woodwool shows again (see photos).

Teddy has a front final seam and a non-working growler. The mohair has bald patches but its backing is without tears or holes.

All in all he is wonderful. See all photos as parts of description.

Early Bing teddy bears looked a lot like Steiff teddies. Similar heads with boot-button eyes.

However they had a button in the right ear. The last photo shows that this bear might have had that button, too. At Steiff's protest Bing moved the button under their bears' arm calling it a tag instead of a button placating Steiff this way.
