[QUOTE="jarraneil, post: 4564731, member: 78378"]This cute guy was given to my dad when he was a baby, so he is probably from the 1920's At first I thought he was a Steiff but reading I have been doing on-line suggests that he is more likely a Bing. He is stuffed with wood wool and has a shaggy mohair coat in very good condition. He has the characteristic four claws of Bing but I can't find a tag anywhere on his body. I have checked the ears, under the arms etc He has amber eyes and a fairly long snout He stands around 12" His arms, legs and head are articulated He is musical and if you squeeze his belly it activates internal chimes I have not been able to find any examples on-line of a bear that matches this description It would be great if someone could help me piece together a bit more of the history behind this little fellow[/QUOTE]
