Herbie Hecla
An early American Hecla teddy bear was made for only 2 years around 1906 in New York City. This company made such exquisite bears in many sizes. A rarer found small size measuring about 8” tall. He's all original with his greyish clear glass eyes & black pupils giving him an alert expressive face, almost seems to look right at you. His white mohair is sparse with fur loss and balding. He has a slight 5 o’clock shadow on his muzzle which we find endearing, a tattered ear edge and a few small marks on him. He has playwear and age old patina, he could use a slight bath & fluff of his mohair. His rust color floss nose and mouth is fairly complete. His joints move well, his head was made stationary as part of his body. A wonderful early guy ready to travel in his vintage handmade suspendered pants, antique striped jacket and handmade boater hat so he’s ready for some warm weather fun.price $575 see more photos below
