1940's Teddy Bear

I was given this bear around 1978, when we lived in Cologne, Germany. He belonged to a friend of my mum’s whose children had grown up. So I guess he dates from at least the 1940s or 50s. He is jointed, has a growl and is stuffed with wood wool. No sign of a previous tag in his ear or any other label. I’m not sure what his fur is made of, it might be mohair? He’s got a full body of hair. It’s worn on his head from being cuddled and stroked! He’s been repaired over the years as his felt pads had perished.

Looks like an English Chiltern Hugmee bear but nose stitching altered.

He's so lovely. I love the teddy bears who look like they have been truly loved and played with. He looks like he belongs to a very loving child.
