I have gotten through almost all of the bears but there are still a few that I have not been able to find an info about.
I thought it might be easier to post up group pics and see if anyone knows any of them before putting up individual pics.
They are grouped by jointed and not jointed .
The first group is jointed
the next ones are not and the twins(two black bears) have little leather claws and noses
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
I was not able to find any tags on the bear and the stitching seems ;ess professional than some others I have seen. Thank you again for your replies.
I try to look as many places as I can find for information before posting but there are a few that I just cant find anything about
Hello,
This is another of the stuffed animals my mother left. It looks like a mouse but some bears I have seen look like mice too so I am not sure. It is a dark grey. brown color and
about 16 inches tall. Stitching for a nose and plastic eyes. I am not sure if the lace around its neck belongs or not. It is jointed and has large hand sewn area on each joint. I understand this is whee the stuffing would have been put in but these seem larger or maybe just more apparent than other bears. Also has rather sizeable ears(mouse like)
Thank you again for your help!
Thank you for the help. There are probably 6 bins of Bears that we are going through of all different style and sizes. Many of them are gund and boyds bears. There is a very nice Merrythought London Guard bear that is similar to some other I have seen on line but has a few differences. More buttons, a belt, different hat. I wrote to Merrythought and someone ther was going to get back to me about him. There is also a small Dakin which struck me. It feels like it is quite solid or stuffed with a more firm material and is jointed but only about 6 inches tall. Havent seen any like her.
I also found one that I am posting pictures in hope of finding something out
I have been looking all over and can not find anything about these bears. The 2 bigger ones have wind up music boxes(both working).
The larger bear is a coarse grey fur with small hump on back, jointed with no tags and plastic nose. The head, arms and legs are very firm when squeezed
The other one is a softer shorter fur and jointed with no tags and his bottom seems to go unusually lower than what I ihave seen on other bears.
The third bear is not music box and not really fur, more of a felt like feel. not jointed and firm when squeezed. She has a long dress with knickers under it and a small teddy bear in her arm, no tags .
Any information on these three characters would be really appreciated. I recently got 4 bins of bears when my mother passed and I am trying to get an idea of whether I need to add them to insurance. Wow is there a lot to figuring out teddy bears. My hats off to those of you that have been doing this for any length of time. How do you do it? My brain is scrambled after only a couple of weeks.
