THIS IS CONSTANCE AND SHE WAS MY MOTHER’S TEDDY. I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT TEDDY BEARS AND SADLY KNOW ONLY A LITTLE LITTLE ABOUT HER HISTORY SO I APOLOGISE FOR MY VAGUENESS ABOUT HER.
CONSTANCE (OR CONNY AS SHE LATER CALLED HER) WAS GIVEN TO HER AS A CHILD I BELIEVE AND I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WAS OLD WHEN SHE WAS GIVEN (ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER) WHICH WOULD MAKE HER 1930s I THINK? SHE HAS A LOVELY TILT TO HER HEAD WHICH HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS OF LOVE SHE RECEIVED AND ALL THE STORIES AND SECRETS TOLD TO HER. SHE LOOKS LIKE A LOVING BEAR WHO HAS SEEN AND HEARD MANY THINGS.
THE APRICOT PINK MOHAIR FABRIC HAS FADED TO A GOLDEN APRICOT TINT. SHE IS FAIRLY HEAVY AND VERY SOLID FEELING AND I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS WOOD WOOL FILLED DUE TO THE SOLIDITY AND WEIGHT OF HER. SHE HAS BLACK GLASS BOOT BUTTON EYES, A STITCHED NOSE , HER PINK PADS HAVE FADED – NO STITCHING TO REPRESENT CLAWS. SHE HAS A CENTRE SEAM TO HER BODY, A FAIRLY LONG SNOUT AND A TRIMMED FUR FACE. SHE HAS A SMALL HUMP TO HER BACK (I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAKES HER EARLY 20TH CENTURY? ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET) THE HUMP IS SLIGHTLY OFF CENTRE AND VERY CLOSE TO THE NECK JOINT. SHE IS JOINTED AT THE ARMS, LEGS AND HEAD.SHE HAS LONG ARMS THAT CURVE AT THE END FOR PAWS. SHE IS WEARING HER ORIGINAL? CROCHETED LACE SHAWL WHICH LOOKS TO BE VERY FINELY MADE. NO LABELS OR BUTTONS THAT I CAN FIND.
CONDITION : IN LOVELY VINTAGE/ANTIQUE CONDITION WITH WEAR AND TEAR AS EXPECTED WITH AN OLD ITEM. THE MOHAIR FUR HAS FADED, SOME STAINING TO THE PADS AND CROCHETED LACE SHAWL/COLLAR (SEE PHOTOS) ETC
SIZE: LAID FLAT CONNIE IS APPROXIMATELY 13.5″ (INCHES) LONG.
