1980's teddy bear
Hello,
My bear would have been purchased in the Greater Toronto Area of Canada circa late 1986 or early 1987. I remember hearing my cousin say she recalled purchasing him from a mall retailer called "Toy City", but she's not 100% sure. Nobody recalls any tags being on him, nor are there any signs of a tag ever being removed.
He has ovoid white eyes and an oval brown nose, both of which are made of hard plastic. He also has a stubby white, rabbit-like cotton-tail on his rump.
I remember him having a thin piece of pink string sewn across his mouth for a smile, but as a baby I have a distinct memory of pulling off that string and having it come apart very easily. The small black yarn pieces that marked the edges of his smile are still visible.
