Oh, the Tales he has Told! Our early American Aetna Teddy c. 1907 with an adorable face. His mom did all she could to keep her boy warm, even knitted an old sweater and pants for him to wear after he lost much of his fur.
Original “as found” he measures 11 1/2” tall with original nose, mouth and all of his 5 claws and shoe button eyes. Much balding to his blonde fur, he feels stuffed with straw and horsehair. His ears have slightly loosened and his felt on hands and feet are worn, original cardboard lined feet.
He’s worn this burgundy sweater set forever, it has fading on the front side, the pants still have the waist ties & both stirrups though they are worn thru. The sweater was always tucked into his pants so the bottom front edge seems barely faded. It has two holes, one in upper chest and on sleeve. The backside of both pieces appears nearly unfaded and hasn’t seen much daylight. The sweater set could benefit from a light bath or left as is as it’s just a bit soiled over time but without odors. price $435 .... see more pics below
