This is Kimba, my favorite Koala Bear.  He is large for this type of toy Koala being c 13.5 inches tall and 10 inches wide from claw to claw or ear to ear. 

 

He is made of real fur and stuffed with wood wool.  He has clear glass eyes on wires and a lovely worn leather nose.  I believe early koala toys had leather noses, leather claws and glass eyes.  When I bought him I was told that he dates from 1930’s.  

 

Kimba is in fantastic condition for his age, most have gone completely bald!  The only wear to him is on his left ear where there is a small bald patch (please zoom on photo 7) and there is a stitch missing on his bottom right claw which could easily be put back.  He has a worn orange ribbon and small bell around his neck.

 
 

 
 

Kimba and his fellow koalas in the last picture have been with me for many years, but I am having to part with most of my collection of bears and bear related items.   

 

 

I am sure there are some Koala fans out there that will cherish Kimba as I have :)

 

 

The last photos show the other koalas that will be for sale in my other listings over the next few days as well as more from my antique teddy bear and friends collection.
