Wow!
Here I have a wonderfull antique or vintage Hermann Teddy Bear from Germany. He is around 13 inches tall and made of mohair. His glass eyes nose/mouth/claw stitching is all original . His felt paw pads are in perfect shape! All original.And he has a cute little hump on his back!! His fur is also in great condition, with some slight thinning along the seams. He is all hard stuffed and has a non functional press mechanism in his belly...I do not know if it was a squeeker or a growler. His joints are nice and tight. He has the distinct smell of age. I believe he is from the 50s or earlier.
He was discovered at a local estate sale, along with a whole collection of steiff teddy bears.
