They are both lovely.  You must be delighted with them.  The brown bear is my favourite.   He is such a happy bruin.

Wow! wonderful bears!  I don't know which one I like better. The bottom one is so unique, I can't read the tag, can you tell me who the maker is?

The green/gold tag reads "Bera Hamburg" or "Vera Hanburg" with no other marks. I've try looking on the net & can't find any info. , perhaps some help?

The brown bear in your first post is a Berg bear from Austria. He is absolutely wonderful! What a great find!

What an unusual bear; I don't think I have ever seen paws like that.  But he has a very endearing expression.  bear_wub
