Biography of Annie

Well, One might say she was sloppy and worn maybe even shabby. But I know that she is just a cute little bear, who has been well loved throughout the decades without affecting her charm and glow.

Still she radiates her buxomity and joy of life, country-bred as she is, up there in Northern Yorkshire.

Hard labour did never hurt anyone did it, she grunts.

 

Condition

 

In generel

 

5-way jointed  Golden Mohair, Mohair aprox.30 %.

Head

.Almost all mohair is worn. Eyes fastened nicely in the neck. Scruffy. Stuffed with wood wool. Reddish stain at right eye-area.

Body

Non-working squeaker. The tummy where the squeaker is situated is the most worn part.Rather firm kapok-filling..

Limbs

Firm arms and legs. Pads seems original. Embroidered label on right foot. All claw-stitchings seems original.

Other

 

Poor of mohair, but besides that a very solid and firm teddy, who simply radiates.
