WELCOME!
Here for your bidding pleasure is:
AN ANTIQUE ~ IDEAL TOY CO. ~ TEDDY BEAR ~ 17" TALL ~ BEIGE MOHAIR ~ CLOTH NOSE ~ NO MARK
He is fully jointed and moves easily. He has clear glass eyes with brown pupils and a cloth nose ~ NOT an embroidery floss nose ~ the black ribbed cloth nose ~ was original to the Ideal Teddy Bear from the early 1900s .
His ears are nicely set and he has a hump on his back. He is straw stuffed with no loss of stuffing. His paws are all original with only a very few moth holes to his arm paw pads (see pictures). His fur is in great shape with very little loss of the mohair.
E very Teddy Bear wants "a little something" and mine is wearing his early 1900s cotton knit shirt with a very collectable vintage Fordham University pin with dangling metal football.
My Bear is an excellent example of an early American Teddy Bear and would be a great addition to the collection of a serious collector.
