Search for origin of old teddy bear

Hello,

I came across your site while looking for an old teddy bear from my mother. I hope you can help me.
I have already spent a lot of time researching your old, very old teddy on the internet where it came from. Unfortunately without any results until today.

I hope you can help me. The teddy is still in our possession, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it did for decades. The teddy was given to my mother when she was born in 1958. In terms of features and general appearance, it resembles a knickerbocker knuddles teddy, but not 100%. Maybe he is from Italy? I would be very grateful if you could tell me which company it comes from and when it really comes from.
I have a old photo of the teddy bear, as it originally looked.

Many Greetings

 

In what country was the teddy bear given as a gift?

My mother got the teddy bear from a sales representative in Italy. I don't know if the teddy comes from Italy.

 

WHY is he stepping on that poor baby's head??

 

In 1958, I'd think most likely of local (Italian) manufacture. Unless there was some sort of international connection.

I'm more likely to assume that he's from Italy. But unfortunately I can't find any match with an Italian manufacturer, at least on the internet.

 

The baby is a doll with a celluloid head, so I think it'll be alright.

 

A quick search on eBay Italy for a "orsacchiotto d'epoca" brought up this one which looks quite similar (in the U-shaped construction of the torso and center seams down legs.)
