UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS GREAT OLD BEAR TEDDY BEAR PULL TOY ON WHEELS.  HE HAS HIS ORIGINAL BROWN LEATHER COLLAR, AND I BELIEVE WHAT IS A GROWLER IN THE TOP MID BACK SECTION THAT DOESN'T WORK, IT INDENTS BUT NO SOUND COMES OUT.  THE AGED CRISS CROSS METAL FRAME APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RED ORIGINALLY BUT IS WORN AND AGED.  THE WHEELS APPEAR TO BE WOODEN...ONE OF THE WHEELS (FRONT LEFT IS NOT AFFIXED TO THE FRAME AS THE OTHERS ARE...I HAVE PLACED A SMALL DAB OF HOT GLUE (EASILY REMOVED) THERE TO KEEP THE WHEEL IN PLACE.  THE MOHAIR IS WORN AND MISSING IN AREAS  OVERALL ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND HIP AREA, IT DOES NOT FALL OUT WHEN TUGGED ON...HE IS STUFFED WITH STRAW...THERE IS AN APPROX 1 1/2" TEAR IN THE BACK LEFT LEG THAT EXPOSES THE CONTENTS, HIS SMALL NUB TAIL HAS SMALL  (PEN HEAD SIZE) HOLE ON THE TOP SIDE,  HIS LEFT EAR HAS AN AREA THAT APPEARS TO ME TO HAVE HAD SOMETHING REMOVED...THIS MAKES ME THINK IT MAY BE A STEIFF...I DON'T KNOW..SO KEEP IN MIND...IT MAYBE A STEIFF, IF SO GREAT...IF NOT THEN IT IS STILL A GREAT OLD BEAR!   HE IS SEAMED DOWN THE CENTER BACK AND BELLY, FRONT AND BACK EACH LEG, CENTER OF HIS FACE, MOUTH AND DOWN TO HIS CHEST. HIS EARS ARE SEAMED ACROSS THE TOPAND HIS HEAD IS SEAMED AROUND TO CONNECT TO THE BODY...I HAVE TRIED TO PICTURE ALL OF THE AREAS THAT I CAN, THEY ARE AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF APPEARANCE.  HIS FEET LOOK TO HAVE HAD SOME REPAIR YEARS AGO AS THERE IS SOME DARKER THREAD PRESENT.  HIS NOSE IS BLACK STITCHED.  THE METAL RING IN HIS NOSE IS INTACT AND SLIGHTLY RUSTY IN APPEARANCE...HIS EYES DO NOT MATCH..ONE IS SMALLER, I BELIEVE THE LEFT ONE MAY BE THE ORIGINAL...IT IS THE SMALLER OF THE TWO.  THE BACK WHEELS ARE IN PRETTY NICE SHAPE BOTH FRONT WHEELS HAVE SOME OF THE BLACK (HARD RUBBER LIKE) COATING ON THE METAL WHEEL SURFACE.   I just found out I omitted the measurements...bear measures approx 10" nose to tail and stands approx 7" on wheels.  :)

AFTER ALL THAT INFORMATION AND DETAIL....LET ME SAY..THIS IS A GREAT OLD BEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR YEARS IN OUR COUNTRY/PRIMITIVE ROOM, THAT HAS ADDED A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO OUR OTHER ITEMS AND BEARS.  HE HAS HAD ALOT OF ATTENTION FROM VISITORS AND COLLECTORS OF ANTIQUES.  HE IS NOT PERFECT...HE IS HOWEVER, ADORABLE AND WELL WORTHY OF ANOTHER GOOD HOME.  I AM HAPPY TO SEND MORE PICTURES AS REQUESTED..PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.  THANKS FOR LOOKIN AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING.
