Dears Original 1957 Antique Vintage Old Teddy Bear restoration project. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
Say Hi to ‘Goldie’. He is a Deans Original from the 1950’s and has been in our family from New.
Deans are the oldest Bear Makers in Britain and what better to have than a restoration project with the pinnacle of British Bears.
Goldie stands 27″ tall and as you can see requires some TLC from a Collector or a Bear Hospital so he can be restored to near his former glory. The mohair has aged but is of the ‘Patina’ you would expect of a Vintage Bear of over 60 years old.
Fully articulated, he has his original Deans Tag which I am sure indicates a lot of information to Vintage & Antique Bear Collectors. He was a Bright Gold Mohair in his day with Burgundy Velvet Pads. His stuffing has become very hard over the years and his ‘growl’ has give up the ghost.
As you will see his original rubber nose is missing and mouth stitching has come undone a little, plus his right pad has been attacked during storage. (We kept socks on him for many years)!
Overall, I would class him average condition for his age as he is the same age as my Husband and he doesn’t look this good some days !!
Looking for a loving and sympathetic home for Goldie and I am willing to accept reasonable offers.
