Early 20th century teddy bear, it belonged to my grandmother Doris who was born in 1906 New England. The bear is pre-1920s, with no known manufacturer. The bear seems to be made with a light brown mohair, which is patchy in places. The paw pads seem to be a thick felt material. The stuffing is a wood material. The stitching on the paws and nose are a hand stitched thread now almost reddish in appearance. The eyes are black buttonish. Originally the bear was wearing some kind of clothing. I do not know what type of clothing or outfit it had, but what's left of silk stockings are still sewn on to the legs. Measurements: Total height: aprox 13-14 inches, body depth aprox 4 inches, body width approx 3 inches body height (from hump to bottom): approx 6.5-7 inches, arm lenth: approx 5.5 inch, leg length approx 5.5 inches, head width (at widest): 3.5-4 in, head depth: 4.5-5 inches, ears are spaced 2.5 inch apart and approx 2 inch long each nose approx 1.5 inch long, foot paw pad approx 2 in long, hand paw pad approx 1.5 inch long. The bear is jointed at the head, arms and legs with what appears to be discs and metal clips (discs inside fabric). The bear's arms narrow quite a bit from the top of the arm to the tip of the paws. The nose is quite narrow as well. I could not find any manufacturer markings or clips.

This bear belonged to my grandmother as a child. She was born in 1906 New England. It has only been owned by her and myself, when I was gifted it from her estate when she passed in the late 1989.
