Wonderful Willie is a rare early Bing teddy bear made only from 1908-1910 with the all in one ear design patented by Bing. Willie measures 12″ with around 85% of his lovely dark blonde mohair remining along with his boot button eyes, original nose and mouth stitching as well as claws. His pads were recovered long ago; I have not checked to see what is underneath. Solidly stuffed with wood wool with a now non working growler. These superb bears are very rare and much sought after today. You can see from the pictures that there is no joining seam on the back of his head as the cloth used was one piece and that his ears are not attached separately. A superb example of a Bing from the very earliest period of manufacture.Thanks for looking.
