Finley is a fabulous old Chad Valley bear – he has the looks of the earlier Chads and I would date him to the 30’s. He is 16 inches tall and fully jointed – largely kapok stuffed with woodwool to the muzzle – he has a non-working growler. He has 3 replaced pads – one is the original felt with a couple of nibbles. As you can see he has a great covering of mohair – I would estimate he is about 80% covered. Finley has been well cared for and looks to have had his nose restitched – his eyes have also been replaced – but he still looks wonderful and very much as he would have back in the day. He will come as pictured in his knitted sailor top and is a lovely old character in need of a home xxx  

 

 

 

Please be aware I am a lover of the tattier old teds with oodles of character so bear this mind before buying – no bear will be perfect – far from it – but I guarantee they are all perfectly adorable. I try to list every bear accurately – if there is anything I forget I can only apologise – I try to put plenty of photos up so please take a good look as these form part of the description. I happily post overseas but anything over 40 in value HAS to be tracked hence overseas postage may seem a lot – if postage is less than quoted I will happily refund the difference. Any questions please get in touch and I will do my best to answer – I have given a tracked postage quote for this monkey as I would hate for him to go missing xxx
