A lovely bear by Chad Valley, the blue label in his side seam dates him to the 1950’s.
He is in good condition for his 50-60 years. His golden mohair has thinned in places rather than outright bald patches, many areas still have a good thick covering. He has large glass eyes  original stitched nose and mouth. His snout is a bit flat as it is missing some stuffing. His head is stuffed with something crunchy (straw?) and the rest of him with something softer. He is five-way jointed.
Three of his paws have the original rexine covering, I think the rexine on his left arm paw is a replacement. On his left foot you can see where a label was.
The back of his head has a small amount of cotton showing, not sure why, there doesn’t appear to be any repairs, I think it is part of the original stitching. I have since found out that this is the final knot that was made to keep the eyes in place.
He is 20″ tall.
I have added lots of photos, please study these for condition etc.
This lovely example of these sought after bears is looking for a new home and friends.
From a smoke and pet free home.
