Theo is a very rare interesting little old mohair jointed bear brooch or badge, bought from a .
I bought him from a seller in America a couple of years ago and i havent seen another like him before or since. I havent been able to work out his age but the brooch clasp is certainly a very old one.
He is just 3″ tall with tiny glass eyes, a hand stitched nose and mouth, and fully jointed arms and legs.
He appears to have been kept in a box all his life because he is in wonderful condition.
Bears like these were issued as promotional souvenirs during Teddy Roosevelt’s presidential campaign around 1904, but i have not been able to find a photo of any of these bears, so i cannot establish nor rule out whether he is from this era.
Either way, he remains a very charming and unusual little fellow, a wonderful little character for any miniature bear collection. I am thinning out my miniature bear collection so please see my other listings.
