My mom had them.
Good afternoon, Joseph,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Thank you for confirming that there are no grommets in either of the ears; at least that rules these out as being Steiff bears.
Generally speaking, unattributed bears do not bring very much money. The following recent auction sales have been used to research the fair market value of your bears.

Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, you have:
A pair of vintage golden mohair teddy bears
American or European, 20th Century
with jointed arms and legs
$100-150 (represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking prices may vary.)
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
I don’t feel anything or see any grommets
