Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Also, thank you for the idea on getting the leather removed, I would have never thought about that. I will hunt around, and see what I can find. Thank 

I absolutely came back!! Oh my goodness, thank you so much! dangerbears, I believe that is the exact one we were looking for. Dakin seemed like it was so close, but when I clicked on that link I sort of screamed a little. It was great
I am going to continue to hunt around to see if I can find one, but I'm assuming any that I come across will be going for the $100 price point.

Thank you,
thank you,
thank you!!!

Hello!
I know based on the previous topic that many of you are probably upset with people asking for help identifying bears, but I promise to be courteous and respond if anyone has any information to help!
I know this bear is in no way an antique, but it has a very special significance for my family, and was stolen by some kids pulling a prank. It meant a lot to my father, and we are trying to hunt down another to remind him.
I know it was purchased in the early 1980's when my brother was born, and we feel we are getting close when searching for Dakin 1980's bears, except all of those show "leather" (or suede) feet AND ears, and ours only had that different fabric on the feet. My only other guess was Gund, but I could be entirely off.
We sincerely appreciate any time or tips that you may have! If there is another spot to post this that is more appropriate, please let me know. Thank you!!
