1970's Blue and Yellow Bear
This bear was bought for me within a couple years of my birth in 1975. My mother says it was probably bought at JC Penny's in Northern California. I remember he had a yellow satin ribbon around his neck. Not sure if original. This bear is stuffed with beige/brown foam pieces. The bear had a rolled red, felt tongue. He has light Aqua fur that was about a 1/2 inch long. The blue fur seems to be attached to a knitted base fabric. He has yellow fur inside his ears, at the ends of his arms and feet and his snout is yellow and slightly shaped with T stitching. The yellow fur and is attached to a woven base fabric. He has a slightly convex plastic eye which is gold and faceted cut on the back. It is rimmed in black on the outer edge about 1/16 of an inch. The center of the eye is also black and is 3/8 inch in diameter. Total eye diameter is 3/4 inch. The bear is 11 1/2 inches tall and has approximately a 9 inch arm span. Moths have damaged the blue fabric but not the yellow.
