Very old bear looking for a new loving home
He’s a Merrythought with original label on right foot

Teddy Bear Adoption from Granny Annie – please keep an eye on my listings for other bears in need of good homes
Poor old Cecil is blind, but he’s certainly not dumb…..if you listen carefully perhaps he will tell you the story of his life. It’ll be long and interesting because he is now somewhere between 81 and 90 years old. This is confirmed by the Merrythought Wishbone Button in his left ear which dates him between 1930 and 1939 
I’m named him Cecil because it means ‘blind’ but he would love it if you give him some eyes, restore his sight, and re-name him – he’s such an easy going bear!
Cecil’s previous owner felt it was time for him to look for a retirement home – perhaps you can offer it to him? All he needs is a comfy chair in a warm place! (and maybe a new jumper or bow)
He’s been very well loved as you can see! – Please read on so you know all his details – 
Jointed bear from Merrythought
Approx 21 inches
Wishbone button in ear
He feels like he has a growler in his tummy, but it’s no longer working
He’s still quite furry, but lots of bare patches!
Right ear needs a few stitches
Left hand is coming apart at the wrist – see photos – lots of stitches needed here! From this you can see he is stuffed with some sort of soft stuff like kapok
These are not ‘faults’ as such, but all part of his character!
Lovely kind patient bear – please consider carefully before adopting as Cecil deserves the best of new homes!
(My home is smoke free)
Cecil will travel to you by Special Delivery  – sorry I can’t send any other way as he needs to be insured for the full amount, and no combined postage on this listing

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION – thank you. VIRUS CRISIS UPDATE Sept ’20 and onwards – I am posting as usual but please contact me before buying/bidding if urgent postage is required. HOLIDAYS – check my Profile to see when I am unable to post, thanks. DOLLS – colouring and condition is my opinion only. POSTAGE AND PACKAGING (updated 31.08.20) Your parcel may be sent Royal Mail 2nd class, 2nd class signed for or My Hermes (whichever I decide is best for your parcel) and I reserve the right to change delivery method and choose whichever I decide is best for your parcel. My Hermes may charge more to send to remote locations such as the Isle of Man and Scottish Highlands etc so please be aware I may need to make an extra charge to cover this. I charge nothing or very little for packaging – I always wrap carefully and well but I do try & re-use/recycle packaging to save you/me money and help the planet! Please be kind & remember I do have to buy some supplies like plastic posting bags, sellotape, labels etc & bear this in mind when leaving your ratings. If you feel inclined to leave low ratings, for whatever reason, why not contact me first and hopefully I will be able to put the matter right. Items can ONLY be sent to the address you have registered with ebay/paypal -it is against ebay regs to send to any other address.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL MY LISTINGS – Payment by Paypal is expected within 2 days of end of auction, and prompt payment is very much appreciated. I will send you a gentle polite reminder to pay, but after that I have no choice but to open an unpaid item case with Ebay, which I will do as soon as Ebay allows. I do not accept cheques or any other type of payment. Auctions – If I have listed as an auction, there is definitely No Buy It Now. I do not post outside the UK so please do not ask. Thank-you.
