I believe this bear is mohair. I purchased it about 20 years ago at an antique shop for a nominal cost. I cannot seem to find anything that even closely resembles it. I thought maybe it was handmade, but the stitching looks machine done.
Here are the specs:
20+ years old
Dark brown matted fur
Black round plastic or glass eyes (flat on underside)
Protruding red fabric tongue
8” tall
Moveable joints including head
Short arms
Crunches when you squeeze it which seems that it’s filled with wood chips
I would love to know if there is any value in this bear. There are no tags or labeling anywhere.
