Biography of Mickey

There were days when Mickey drank champagne and rye on the rocks. Those were the days when he thought he would be nominated for an Oscar. And those were the days when he fell in love for the first time. With an Hollywod actress off course (I have promised not to say who!).

But those days are over. Now Mickey just enjoys life as it comes. Nothing seems to challenge him. Nothing worries him. He really knows how to relax and enjoy the moment.

 

Condition

 

In generel

 

Solid teddy, though far from mint. Mohair remains approx. 10-15 %. Lacks a bit stuffing around the joints.

Head

 

Everything original. Except for some missing stitches to nose and mouth it seems there are no other 

flaws. Wood wool stuffed.

Body

Growler is working, though weak, but where it sits it feels like a hole - or unstuffed place under the cloth. Wood wool stuffed.

Everything original..

Limbs

Fine condition all over - with stitches. Joints a bit loose, especially the arms, but the leg-joints are firm enough to make him able to stand on his flat soles.

Other

 

Lovely teddy - a bit loose, but a character all the way.
