Description
20" (51 cm.) Of vibrant golden plush mohair, the firmly stuffed teddy has shaved muzzle with black embroidered nose and mouth, amber glass eyes, stitched-on ears, swivel head, elongated jointed arms, short hip-jointed legs, velvet paw pads, and original rose silk neck ribbon. Excellent condition. English, early 1930s. The teddy bear was a particular favorite of young Shirley and appears with her in many publicity photographs, including this example taken at her fifth birthday party, of which the bear is apparently one of the gifts she has just received.
