Adorable and very rare little Cudlam Panda Bear. Made in England in the 1950s or possibly early 60s, Panda is approximately 10 long with articulated back and front legs. His head is fixed, his body feels quite firm so perhaps wood shaving or straw filled? Hes made out of lambswool. He doesnt appear to have a growler Im not even sure if Pandas were/are made with growlers. He has amber eyes and a hard nose I assume both of these are plastic. Whilst a well-made, quality item, safety standards for childrens toys are quite different now than they were in the 50s/60s and I would therefore suggest that this is suitable as a collectors piece or for an adult who wishes to rekindle childhood memories rather than for a child. Ive been able to find a little information about Cudlam bears: Manufactured by Plummer & Wandless who specialised in sheepskin bears in the 1950s. The company was formed by Daphne Plummer and her husband John and traded from 1946-1972. Several manufacturers were established in the UK after World War II. Due to the rationing of mohair, the companies made teddy bears out of sheepskin, a material that remained popular until the 1960s. ConditionVery good vintage condition, his left paw feels very slightly looser than the right but articulates well and he has a little flattening of the wool pile on his back where he has been sitting against a hard surface for a while, otherwise remarkably good condition for the age perhaps he wasnt loved as much as he deserves to be. Please enlarge and examine the photographs and treat them as integral to the description – any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. The chair is not included.
