A sweet pair of vintage Gebruder Hermann bears, mum and baby. They’ve lived together for over 30 years in two different music rooms and are accompanied by their postcard of written provenance. Both bears are original and date to c.1960s. They’re woodwool-stuffed and fully-jointed, with amber glass eyes and a black-stitched nose and mouth.

Both teddies were bought second-hand for the baby daughter of Americans, Joni & Terry Greenman in the mid-1980s. The bears were displayed in their music room for many years, until the 2008 crash forced them to sell. They’ve since lived together in a different music room in Canada, and are now temporarily residing with me (not in a music room!) until they’re re-homed.

Mummy Hermann is 30 cms (12″) tall, and in lovely condition, apart from a little wear to her felt pads. Her mohair is a light caramel colour, and her clipped muzzle is made of contrasting gold mohair. She’s wearing her pretty vintage knitted dress and pink ear ribbon.

Baby Hermann is in minty condition with a loud working squeaker. She’s 26 cms (10″) tall, and made of pinky-beige mohair, with a separate protruding muzzle of clipped fur. She’s rather more chubby than her mum, and is dressed in her little vintage brushed cotton jacket and frilly panties. She also wears a pink ribbon in her ear.

These cute teddies are in need of a new music room so they can play ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’ on the piano – they already have their music sheet! Thanks for looking xx
