White Bear with no tag

He's a 14" bear, white, artificial plush, with no tag. Acrylic brown eyes. Stitched nose and mouth, which appears to be connected as one continuous thread. No pads on the hands or feet, with rounded ends on the limbs. Seams come all the way around the ends of the limbs, but are well hidden. He has no joints or frame. He has a larger than usual head with a 2" long, maybe 3" diameter snout. He has rounded ears that stand up. He looks like he's been modeled after a baby polar bear and may have initially been wearing a sweater with a Christmas tree on it. I've had him since I was little, for about 25 years, and don't have the sweater anymore. I've been curious to this little guy's origins and have not been able to find a bear that looks remotely like him.

With the help of another Bear Group we were able to identify the original bear and even buy another from a collector on eBay. He is a 1986 CHOSUN Christmas Bear from Chosun International. I wish I could post a picture of them side-by-side so you could see the difference 30+years of love makes.

I have a similar one with a heart on the left hand that played music. I'm curious about the brand also as I am trying to buy another.

Only it has no mouth and a brown triangular nose. It's also 18" tall. The eyes of yours and mine are a dead match. I have no idea what mine is either, but I'd love to know! Good luck! I know mine is from the 1980s, I think I came home from the hospital with it (so circa 1984).
