For Auction is a very old, very vintage, very adorable c1920's Teddy Bear with original shoe button eyes.

I am listing many Teddy Bears from my collection (over 40 years) in the coming weeks as I simply have no room to display them all. I only bought Teddy Bears in their "as they were" condition, and they are virtually all pre 1940.

This beautiful old bear measures 46cm. There are remnants of his fur which would have been a very short gold velveteen type fabric with a cotton backing, that now remains.

He is straw filled with beautiful shoe button eyes that are original. His ears are also original and are cute, round in shape and puffy.

The pads on his feet are virtually gone, but one paw is still intact and is a flesh coloured felt fabric.

This bear is fully jointed although his 2 arms and 1 leg dangle - I couldn't bear to try to fix him. One leg is still attached by the original wire fixing. He has the most amazing long snout (stitching has been replaced) very popular for '20's era bears. This bear is nearly 100 years old and still has a lot of attitude!

Please view the images for a better description. I would say the bear is of English origin although I can find no label.

Please fix payment within 5 days of auction ending, thanks for viewing!
