Size: approximately length is 15 inch (38 cm) .
Material Used: Mohair Plush (not sure if he is light tan or yellow but the close-ups seem to be closer to his color than the full body pictures), black floss, reddish brown glass eyes, rexine pads. He may have worn elasticized trousers since the mohair is pressed down a little in that area.
Additional Information: This wonderful teddy bear has seen much in his lifetime. He was created in England during WWII when they endured a most difficult time. His job was to comfort the small children in his care while fear was high and I suspect he succeeded in this endeavor as best as any bear could. Teddy has survived well through the years, rexine pads show little wear, as does his face and body. He has a shield shaped nose and original eye. Someone has cared for him over all these years. You can find him in The Teddy Bear Encyclopedia (by Pauline Cockrill pp. 57) .
Age: 1940s.
Condition: Used with wear. Some bare spots, missing mohair but overall mohair still covers the teddy. Soil and some fading. Original floss, rexine pads and glass eyes. No claws on feet. Please see pictures, read the description and ask questions for clarification if necessary.
