Antique 5" Schuco Perfume Teddy Bear Fully Jointed 1920s-30s

This is a cute Schuco 4 3/4" fully jointed teddy bear that is also a perfume containter with the bottle still inside.  I believe these were made in Germany in the 1920s or 30s.  The condition is fairly good for the age.  His face is adorable, but there is mohair loss.  I do not know that much about these bears, as this is the first one I have had, but it almost looks as though he has a metal frame with mohair put on over the metal, rather than straw stuffed like the bigger bears.  The cork stopper is a replacement. 

It looks like the color varies on the mohair.  In some places it looks red and other places it looks gold or brown.  The browns and golds are both dark and light.  I think the dark color might be stains from the perfume spilling over.  There is a strip of long mohair across the back and a similar strip across the front, but not as noticeable.  Maybe there were some type of strap that went across that protected the mohair, or maybe there were ribbons across that wore off the mohair with a separation that left a strip that was not abraised.  I have taken a lot of pictures to show the different colors, the condition and how cute this little guy is.  This is a very nice example of this relatively rare teddy bear.

I hope to put on more antique bears later this month.  I also have lots of clothing that is suitable for teddy bears in size and style and I will start to put those in auction and on my eBay Store.  You might want to check my seller's list from time to time under marywhite.
