MEET MATILDA – SHE IS A STUNNING, AND VERY RARE, CHARACTER MADE BY AMERICAN FIRM HECLA.
HECLA, WHOSE BEARS ARE OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR STEIFF, AS BEAR ENTHUSIASTS & COLLECTORS WILL KNOW WAS ONLY IN PRODUCTION FOR TWO YEARS (1906-1908).
MATILDA STANDS AT 19 INCHES TALL, AND IS STRAW STUFFED. HER PAW PADS HAVE BEEN RE-COVERED, SO I DONOT KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL PAD IS LEFT BELOW. ALTHOUGH NOW VERY BALD, MATILDA’S JOINTS WORK WELL AND SHE HAS A NON-WORKING, SIDE BELLOWS, VOICE BOX.
MATILDA, WHO HAS HER ORIGINAL BLACK SHOE BUTTON EYES, IS IN GOOD CONDITION FOR HER AGE (111) !!!!HECLA MADE THEIR BEARS OF THE FINEST GERMAN MOHAIR, AND THEY MADE THEM TO LAST. THE RUSTCOLOURED NOSE STITCHING IS TYPICAL OF HECLA, AS ARE THE WIDE SET EARS.
I ONLY BOUGHT THIS STUNNING OLD GIRL RECENTLY, BUT HAVE JUST RECEIVED AN UNEXPECTED, AND VERYLARGE, BILL SO AM RELUCTANTLY HAVING TO PART WITH A FEW OF MY TREASURED POSSESSIONS.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL MY ITEMS COME FROM A NON-SMOKING ENVIRONMENT
