Summary
A very worn, light brown teddy bear with brown plastic eyes, a black plastic nose and black thread marking his mouth. The soles of his feet and the underside of his paws are made of brown leather-like fabric. Much of his short, artificial fur has worn off and he is quite dirty. He is jointed at the shoulders and hips. He is wearing a dark yellow cotton shirt which has long sleeves and a mock jacket at the front with three red buttons sewn on. The opening at the neck, which extends down the right arm, is edged with grey bias binding and fastens with two press studs. He also wears grey woollen shorts which have a broad band of grey tape around the top edge, fasten at the right side of the waist with a large press-stud, and have red leather braces which cross over at the back.
