Offering our sweet impish little boy named Hobie, but I wouldn’t trust him around your Valentine Chocolates. Not often found in this rare smallest size of 8 1/4”, he’s an early American Hecla Teddy Bear c.1907, made without hand pads, unjointed head is part of his body, all arms and legs move well and are jointed.
Overall wear to his once fluffy blonde mohair. Original clear glass eyes, one is pushed further in and the other seems slightly bent, he’s definitely a bit quirky. A faded smidgeon of his rust color floss mouth remains below his somewhat sucked on, twisted nose. A small opening shows in the seam of his back. He’s not had a bath as yet but it would brighten up his remaining fur.
Vintage sailor collar with early rosette pin and handmade hat complete his already endearing look. A wonderfully expressive face, give him a hug and make him your Valentine.
