Bears mohair

Measures 18cm. Hand made by Bears and Beads. He also has a hump on his back and an original red tag attached around the foot. No pics of that sorry.

42CM TALL, FULLY JOINTED  - HIS FUR IS THICK- FEELS MORE LIKE PURE WOOL THAN MOHAIR (OR MAYBE AN OLD WOOLLY TYPE MOHAIR - NOT SURE)  HOWEVER POINTED SNOUT IS MOHAIR, FELT PAW PADS, STUFFED WITH EXCELSIOR (WHAT WE USUALLY CALL STRAW) AND HAS WORKING TILT GROWLER.   SO HARD TO DETERMINE THE MAKE OF THESE OLD BEARS BUT LOOKS A LOT LIKE AN OLD BERG, GERMANY BEAR.  HE HAS LOST A FEW MOUTH STITCHES BUT NOSE AND CLAW STITCHING STILL IN PLACE.   A LOVELY OLD BEAR TO ADD TO A COLLECTION OF VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE BEARS!    REFER IMAGES

56CM TALL, GOLDEN MOHAIR - HEAD AND TORSO STUFFED WITH EXCELSIOR (WHAT WE USUALLY CALL STRAW) AND ARMS AND LEGS FROM SOME SORT OF KAPOK OR TEXTILE, REXINE PAW PADS.   SO HARD TO DETERMINE THE MAKE OF THESE ANTIQUE BEARS BUT I DON'T THINK AN ARK BEAR AS ARMS AND LEGS ARE LONG (WHICH ALSO DATES HIM AS AN EARLY 1900'S - 1930's BEAR) WHEREAS THE ARK BEARS HAVE SHORT LIMBS.  I AM NOT SURE BUT HE LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE A CHAD VALLEY BEAR.  HIS DOES NEED JUST A LITTLE TLC (EG. STITCHING TO NOSE AND CLAWS) BUT I HAVE LEFT HIM IN HIS ORIGINAL STATE AND THAT DECISION TO HIS NEW OWNER - A REALLY BEAUTIFUL OLD BEAR FOR THE ARCTOPHILE!    REFER IMAGES

66CM TALL, GOLDEN MOHAIR, GLASS EYES, REXINE PAW PADS, JOINTED ARMS AND LEGS, WOOD WOOL STUFFED HEAD AND FOAM STUFFED BODY.  HIS GROWLER IS STILL WORKING BUT HE NEEDS TLC - HAS THE USUAL MOHAIR LOSS, TWO OF HIS PAW PADS ARE DAMAGED, HIS ONE EYE IS HANGING AND THERE HAS BEEN STITCHING TO HIS BACK AND NECK - REFER LAST IMAGES.  NONETHELESS HE IS LARGER THAN MOST ARK BEARS AND A VERY COLLECTABLE FELLA.    REFER IMAGES Damage to paw pads Stitching
