My Lovely Old Teddy
I've had this bear since I was a child in the 80s. I'm sure a family friend had him much longer. There's no longer a tag by which to identify my bear, but I vaguely remember one. He's an unjointed bear with red and black plastic eyes, a prominent nose which has a black plastic moulded piece, and maybe 11- 13 inches. He has a rather solid feeling body. I've looked all over for another bear like mine, but no luck yet. He may not be very old, but I want to know who made him. I haven't been in contact with the family friend who gave him to me in years. I have no info other than he's been around for more than 40 years. It would be great to identify his maker and maybe find out more about his origins. I would love to make a guess, but do not know much about the different brands of Teddy bears. I do have a Knickerbocker bear that I'm sure about, but this bear is my favorite and has survived many moves and most importantly, my childhood. Could he be a Pedigree bear?
