Antique Vintage plush Carnival Pin joint Teddy Bear England 13in EUC

Description

With regret, I am downsizing my teddy bear collection.   I have many different types, which I will be listing in the coming weeks (or months).   For now, I will only list them once to see if anyone is interested.   If not, I get to keep them (although I have recently relisted some of them).   :0)  I live in a smoke-free home, but I do have cats who are barred from the bear room(!).
Please meet Laurel, an antique/vintage carnival pin-jointed type Teddy bear!!  I don't know much about her or where she came from, but she is made of a light tan plush.  I think she's from the 1960's (or before).   Her head isn't jointed. She has a pronounced hump on her back.  She is pretty firmly stuffed.  She wears a cream colored ribbon that is held on by an antique button that has a laurel wreath and an omega symbol inside (I should recognize what that stands for, but I just can't place it).   She is four-way jointed and in excellent, pristine condition.  Laurel is 16 inches tall and weighs 13 ounces.  Could she be the one for you???  She is looking for a home where she can dry the flowers in your garden and make you a very pretty wreaths for your front door for every season. :0)
A quick note about shipping:    Don't you hate it when you're overcharged by a seller on shipping????   A gazillion dollars to cross the pond or go across the country.  It's ridiculous.   I am striving to be accurate in my listing, but sometimes ebay's calculator is way off (especially for those outside the U.S.).   When i calculate shipping, I add in extra weight for the box.    If you're interested in an item outside the U.S., don't be scared by what the calculator is telling you.   Please contact me and I'll find out exactly what it would cost to post to your country and make a note in the listing.  I'll never overcharge you.   If I quote you a number and i can get it to you cheaper, I'll immediately refund the difference.
Please note I am not an expert in teddy bears...I am only downsizing.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Please see pictures.  They are part of the description.  Additional pictures on request.
Payment is due within THREE days of auction end.  PayPal only.  Combined shipping is always available.   I only charge actual shipping costs.   If it turns out the shipping estimator is wrong above , I will refund you the difference.
I am willing to ship internationally, but please ask if I post to your country and what it would cost BEFORE you bid, as it could be very expensive.  Ebay's calculator can be off either too high or too low!
