1980s teddy bear

Hello, to all. I would appreciate your assistance in identifying or shedding any kind of light

on my teddy bear.
I have had this bear since i can remember. I believe it was given to me as a gift when I was born or shortly after which would be in the early 1980s. the label has been cut, i think it was me as i have a fleeting memory of doing it. very little can be made out of this piece remaining piece of tag, i have attached a picture of it.
the four limbs can rotate as well as the neck. the eyes are brown (with a black center) and are plastic. the nose is plastic with some felt on it. it is in very good condition.
i was born in lima peru.
the arms have two stich "fingers" in black and the feet have three black stiches.
the underside of the arm and feet are made out of a felt like materiawhiel the bears rest
of the body is made out of a furry material, barely resembling a plushy towel or soft carpet.
pleaes help me identify it!

Dakin Theodore

It is "Theodore" by Dakin. There are dozens on ebay. He came in light brown like yours and dark brown. I find them at Goodwill too. One of my favorites 💜. My first one I was given in 1983, so that may be a good year to date him.

It’s a Dakin bear, I had one myself as a a child and kept it long enough to give to my kids but sadly they lost it. I just found another one on a amazon and ordered it. It seems to be the last one.
