Description
Vintage Jointed Teddy Bear Reddish Brown 17" Straw FilledThe head feels to be straw filled the rest of the body maybe wool filler as there is a small wear in one of the paws and it kinds of looks like a wool type material. I do not know if this is mohair or just some short hair fur.
Eyes are removed.
Has a bit of red felt by the mouth
He has the elongated snout nose which most of the earlier bears where shaped and the longer limbs
Not sure if something was suppose to be glued on for nose there it looks like something was suppose to be there
Neck turns back and forth feels like a steel? disk or very sturdy cardboard does not bend
Jointed arms and legs same feel disk feels like 2 disks in each joint
Has an off white on paws and feet there is wear on the hands
All the seams looks to be hand stitched as you can see the stitches on the outside.
This came with a handmade shirt and bibs which I will include
I do not know the history of this bear came from an estate sale with lots of the things from the late 40's early 50's era
No tags
Early bears were jointed with cardboard or metal discs and attached with metal pins,
