VTG Antique 50’s Jointed Old Teddy Bear Wool Fur Wood Fiber Fill:
$150.00

Rare antique large jointed teddy bear, from an estate.He seems to be a European teddy, dating to the 1950s with red plastic eyes.
The fur is a wool blend which is common for this time period.
The discerning feature of hard stuffed ears, leads me to think that perhaps this was a store display and used for advertising or carnival prize.
There appears to be no nose stitching or claws, yet there is a remnant of the red cord mouth. The large jowls seem to resemble a storage for food, similar to chipmunks and hamsters.
It is fully stuffed with excelsior, has short arms with the same fabric used for pads, as well as the foot pads. The woven back of the wool fabric is visible, making these areas a sign of gentle stroking through the years. He has a sweet profile with the high forehead and gentle protruding muzzle.
