    I've held into this teddy for about 10 years myself now and he was originally found in an attic of a deaceased elderly lady that had no family so they loaded up all her stuff and donated it to places all over town. I just so happened to be in a place where this guy was dropped off and I saw how delicate he was and have kept him in a box since then. Haven't washed or repaired him in any way. You can just look at him and see the age...oh the stories he could tell...he's a light tan color his palms are a darker tan almost Brown and he has yellow eyes with pupils that are looking up. His nose is made out of cloth as well as his little mouth and his tag only reads Ideal Toy Company...It's a wonderful toy...made is the usa

      Ideal Toys was a very big American Toy Company of the 1960s. They were around before that in fact I think they invented the teddy bear. Hard to say how old that one is. Probably circa 1950s.

      Sad story. I'm glad he has a good home :)
