Old Vintage Antique Chiltern Jointed Teddy BearCuthbert is a dear old vintage “dog nose” Chiltern teddy bear who stands at 14 inches tall. He has obviously been well loved and cherished over his years.As noted in the sellers notes he is; Considerably love worn, aged and tatty .Has sparse patchy plush coverage, is threadbare. He has visible seams and stitch work.Cuthbert has his original orange and black eyes, (which are not safety eyes). His nose is moulded black plastic, again not with safety features and has a stitched mouth. I believe this dates him to the 1950s.His pads are a nice soft velvet type material, but are distressed and worn in areas. His head is filled with wood wool, his body seems to be a mixture of wood wool and possibly kapok, and his arms are soft filled.Cuthbert has an old squeaker in his belly, but sadly this no longer works.He is jointed five ways with good joint connections for his age. His back is also threadbare with visible stitch work and patchy plush. He has a label to his side, but the identity is no longer visible. There are the initials S V written on the label which I should think belongs to the original owner.All this being said, Cuthbert is a classic old bear with bags of character and a long history.Despite his fairly shabby condition he holds himself together well… Like any old English chap.Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the description.Cuthbert is no longer suitable as a toy, he is a collectors item only.I post Monday – Friday as promptly as possible.
