Antique Teddy Bears Offered here are antique teddy bears from the early 1900's through 1940's. All old bears have been left in pretty much as found condition, except for thoroughly cleaning and debugging each one. I love each and every one as they are, imperfections and all. All of their imperfections will be clearly noted and many pictures are available. Of course, all questions are encouraged. Since I feel bears should be seen and touched and held and talked to, your satisfaction is guaranteed, no questions asked. All props are for display only and are not included in the sale of the teddy bear.
'ARTHUR' EARLY ANTIQUE STICK BEAR Arthur has had a hard life, but he's not complaining as he's been soooo loved. Loved from head to foot, but he's very proud of his loved appearance. He's missing lots of mohair, but his back side has quite a bit to still keep him warm. His pads have been lovingly mended over the years and one of his legs has a little arthritis, doesn't move so well. That's actually because it was sewed down long ago. I decided to leave it as he still can sit nicely. The rest of his joints work well. There's a small hole in the fabric next to his nose with general thinning of the fabric there and one of his ears has been sewn back on, ear is original. His excelsior stuffing has settled, love the way it gives him a little pot belly. He has shoe button eyes and a big snout, little smile gives him a quirky look. Arthur is a 14" bear and is ready to go to a new loving home. Sorry, his Christmas scarf is not included...it didn't make the trip to Florida.

'BART' ANTIQUE EARLY TEDDY BEAR ON WHEELS 'Bart' is an early bear on wheels, probably German, circa 1910's. He is made from very short mohair, charcoal brown in color, about 80% coverage. He is attached to a metal frame with wheels. He has a cute little expression, made with black floss, some nose stitching missing, and glass eyes that are probably not original. He measures 12" long. His frame is a tad bent, but still in good condition with wheels turning well. I'm sure he was originally more upright, but over the years he has slumped forward.
