This lovely 14 teddy has such a charming expression, and even with his mouth stitching gone he still appears to be smiling. He is an Omega teddy bear... A British firm that made quality teddies. Omega bears are very sought after and are quite rare to find. This bear would date to 1910's / 20's He has distinctive painted back glass eyes , and horizontal nose stitching.
He needs a few extra stitches. He is wood wool stuffed throughout. All the felt pads are original and in excellent condition, just a little wear on the tips of feet pads, and he has card lined feet. All claw stitching is intact.
He has lovely long arms, and big chunky thighs, and a small hump! There is a growler mechanism inside which no longer works, but just clunks and rattles around in his tummy.
