My grandmother teddy bear from early 1900’s
Hi Brenna,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The multicolored cloth on the pads is later, which devalues this charming first quarter 20th Century bear considerably. In this instance, it almost certainly has more sentimental value than market value.
