Summary
A blonde coloured fur fabric toy bear. Underneath each pair of paws is a metal axle supporting two revolving metal wheels. The bear has black wooden eyes and a dark brown hand-stitched nose. Around the bear's neck is a worn brown leather collar with a metal buckle and there is a metal ring just off the centre of the bear's back. There is a small metal 'button' in the bear's left ear which has the word 'Steiff' moulded on to it. The underside of the paws are felt showing evidence of moth holes.
