Dark brown vintage German teddy bear c. 1940/1950 – 42 cm tall – Fully jointed – Wood wool-filled – Authentic condition. Shaggy, coffee-brown mohair fur with slight age-related wear. Flat back.

The bear is fully 5-way jointed (head, arms, and legs) with authentic, hard round discs (hardboard?) and cotter pins. The limbs still move well. Filled with wood wool, giving the bear its characteristic firmness and structure. Brown glass eyes and a hand-embroidered snout and mouth.
