Matilda is not without her fair share of wear, but still "Oh, So Cute" is this Early Ideal Teddy Bear of 11 inches c.1910. With a great deal of character, in Loved and Worn Condition made from an early worsted wool burlap type material. Her original shoebutton eyes are truly soulful and heart warming.

Showing wear to some areas, a few small holes or frayed scuffs have broken the threads and she has hand done darnings. Her once golden color coating of fur has paled to a yellowy grey with the passage of time. Her felt pads have been repaired with sewn in felt patching. The floss of her nose and mouth seem mostly original as are her claws which originally she owned 5 claws each paw and now some have broken or are missing.

Mattie as she's fondly called, is missing an ear, but looks really great in hats! She's ready for a new home and comes in a Really Wonderful early two piece velvety jacket and suspendered pants set, handmade long ago by one of her mommies of early, early fabric.
