1970s teddy bear
This is my moms old bear, I’m just curious who made him. She lived him in Germany so it’s likely a German company. Probably not Steiff as there’s no button in his ear. He has plastic eyes and in places where his fur is wearing down you can see it’s attached in the fabric. He’s stuffed with a yellow spongy material, similar to the kind I found in my Gund dolls from the 2000s. He has no joints or cardboard inserts in his feet, and his muzzle is barely raised. My mom says he came with a red dress. The patch on his face is a hole I tried to repair, it’s starting to break again. If you have any advice on patching the hole that is welcome too. He does not sit up on his own, his head weighs him down.
