TEDDY
Teddy is an outstanding limited edition bear commissioned by the Smithsonian Museum to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the original 1903 Ideal/Morris Mitchum Teddy Bear they have on display.
This high quality bear was made in 2003 by Hermann-Coburg and is #0513 of only 1,500 pieces.
There is a numbered metal tag, 0513, on his bottom right paw. He also maintains his Hermann/Coburg white tag sewn into the back of his right arm and the metal Hermann button on the back of his head.
He is 26” tall, fully jointed, is excelsior stuffed with gold mohair and a fabulous hump back.
Long arms, great cupped ears off the sides of his head and a large, kissable muzzle!
All original features are in excellent condition and intact. Black shoe button eyes, horizontally stitched black nose and mouth with four black sewn claws on both top paws and 5 claws on his feet.  Almost in untouched condition but has been loved all this time.
See photos to answer most questions.
Proceeds from this and all other ebay sales help to supplement my science classroom purchases of materials and equipment.   Thank a teacher and shop generously and let your friends know about ebay seller       esteem1     .   While prices are very competitive they are still mostly negotiable as some funds beat no funds for my class.    Have a great day.  Damien
