<p>[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 9620622, member: 4727"]I’m not sure what to make of this bear toy / figurine. It’s heavy, and feels solid, but damaged areas show that it’s either composition, or papier mache. The bear is flocked all over, and the eyes appear to be glass. It’s quite large, almost 15” long, and reminds me of pull toys from the late 1800’s but without wheels. Could this be an early papier mache animal toy, from Europe? I will love to know your thoughts as my research efforts have got me nowhere!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uSCRINF.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lVzeu7Y.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/S23ZwXf.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/OAcEy4K.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/eGWfTw6.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
