Teddy Bear
The teddy bear is between 15 and 16 inches long. It belonged to my great Aunt Blanche, given to her on her 6th birthday. Aunt Blanche was born February 25, 1899. She is now deceased. The pictures should show what you need.
Has never been exhibited. I received this from my mother following her death in 2000. My father was Blanche’s aunt. Blanche is my great aunt.
