This is Charlie – an antique teddy bear dating from around 1900-1920.  I am no teddy bear expert but I was told he is a BING make of bear from Germany.  He has a slightly humped back, he has moveable tapered arms and there is a central seam down the front of the body and down the front of the legs.  There is no makers marks.  

 

Charlie has a cute face with a long nose which is sewn in black thread.  Both arms and both legs can be moved and the head also swivels around on what feels like a metal plate.  

 

He is filled with straw.  

 

There are a number of repairs and faults please read the condition report above.  A lot of the mohair fabric is worn and rubbed away in places from years of being loved.  

 

 

He stands 16 inches tall.  

 

A well loved teddy bear – I hope someone can repair and restore him.  The bear will be packed carefully in a box to ensure he arrives in as described condition.   I maybe able to get a better postage price for customers in Europe please message me for an exact price.   

 

Please see photos and ask any questions, I am very happy to help.
