Goldie My Teddy Bear
 
I've had "Goldie" for about eight years now. I found him in a antique shop in Lyndhurst in the New Forest. 
He stood out for me because of his wonderful golden curly fur. I had not see a teddy bear with this sort of curly plush before and I decided that I just had to have him.
He is quite a large bear and has some very nice characteristics such as: 
•	Oval to pointed fabric covered feet pads with claw stitching – three claws to each paw
•	His paws are ‘spoon’ shaped
•	Flat head, black & amber eyes
•	He is also rather portly and may be stuffed with wood wool as he is rather hard.
•	Growler works with rocking motion
•	Different (soft, velvety) fur on muzzle
•	Small stitched (horizontally) black nose
•	Fully jointed
