THIS BIG BOY IS A RARE ANTIQUE TEDDY BEAR MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 20 INCHES IN HEIGHT. HE IS IN GOOD CONDITION RETAINING APPROXIMATELY 95% OF HIS MOHAIR. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THE CONDITION OF FUR.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO A FEW EXPERTS AND THEY AGREE THAT THIS IS A TARA TOYS TEDDY BEAR MADE IN IRELAND FROM AROUND ABOUT 1950. HIS BLACK VERTICAL NOSE AND MOUTH IS STITCHED FROM COTTON, AND IS ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE . HIS STUFFING FEELS LIKE MOSTLY KAPOK WITH SOME WOODWOOL. HE IS VERY FIRMY STUFFED AND REALLY HEAVY.
HIS GORGEOUS QUALITY MOHAIR IS LONG AND IS A LOVELY GOLD. HIS PAWPADS ARE BROWN RESIN AND IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO HOLES OR SPLITS.
HE IS FIVE WAY JOINTED AND HAS HIS ORIGINAL ORANGE GLASS EYES. INSIDE HIS MOUTH IS RED FELT ON WHAT FEELS LIKE A METAL FRAME. ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IS TWO PINS THAT WHEN PRESSED TOGETHER OPEN HIS MOUTH WIDE. WHEN YOU LET THE PINS GO AGAIN HIS MOUTH SHUTS.
THERE ARE NO HOLES IN HIS FUR BACKING - THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT BIG RARE “TALKING” BEAR.
HE HAS BEEN LIVING IN A CABINET WITH MANY STEIFF, SCHUCO AND MANY OTHER BEARS AND CRITTERS. HE COMES FROM A NON SMOKING HOME.
