My beautiful bear named Goldie

by Mary
(Brisbane, Australia)

My grandmother gave me a bear when I was three. He had gold coloured fur when I first received him, but is very bare now. I would never go to bed without him, probably the reason he is so threadbare now. He has a few areas where he has begun to get holes in him and I am not sure whether to get him repaired or not. There are no distinguishing marks or tags on him. He has hard sewn on or glued on eyes, sewn on nose (almost gone) and paw marks. He is about 14 1/2 inches or 37 cms tall. His nose and mouth area are raised but not protruding. He was purchased in Australia around 1962. He is most likely an inexpensive bear, but I would not sell him for $1 million. I think he is the most beautiful bear ever, and I've not seen any the same. I would love to know more about him if anyone knows anything. Thank you.
