old musical Teddy bear

Hi there, My son's father had given me a vintage bear a couple of month's ago and I'm having trouble trying to identify what it is.
It's in great condition and has a working musical box style sound when you press and hold down on it's tummy. It's about 23 inches in height, Has sandy/honey brown coloured fur. The arm's, Leg's and head can all turn and each paw has a smooth dark brown patch with Black stitching. It's eye's are black with orange iris's and appear to be glass, The nose is neatly stitched and shaped almost like a heart the mouth is joined to the nose but very straight unlike most bear's I see that have curves at the end's of the mouth. There is no Tag's, Stamp's or any descriptions at all on the bear But from what I've seen online I'm pretty sure it's either a Chiltern or Steiff branded bear.

Such a treasure

I have the exact same bear and like yours it is still in good condition. Not a bear to be played with by kiddos but a beautiful bear to be enjoyed. I always loved the music box as a kid. It was originally given to my older brother who is now 60 by our Dad. From the research I've done it is a Chiltern bear from the 1950's.

This teddy is an English bear made by the Chiltern Toy Company, quite collectable, lovely example.
