Summary
A rather flat teddy bear made from light reddish-brown fur fabric, possibly stuffed with wood shavings. His body and legs are made in one piece but his very thin arms are sewn on - the right one has been re-attached with pink thread and is now becoming detached. His nose and mouth are embroidered in black cotton thread and his left eye is made of brown plastic - his right eye is missing. His ears are made as one piece with his head.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Christine Brumbill in September 2006.
