    Looking at my Gran's bear, I thought I'd try identify him, but had no idea how tricky that can be! Here is a description of this cute little guy: The pawpads are brown leather. Black claw lines stitched on the upper paws, but not the feet. Short coarse fur,but he's balding in places, and he has no tail. The body and head are stuffed with a stiff, rustling material. The arms and legs are stuffed solidly, but not rustling. Brown eyes. (glass?beads?) The legs and arms are jointed. The joint feels like a flat round disc type coupling.
    If you are a Teddy Bear aficionado, please could you tell me more about this Bear's story? Thanks!

      He's adorable, first and foremost...
      I used to have some knowledge on the basics of old teddies, but nothing's ringing a definite bell. The shape and overall look say 'American, 1930-ish' to me'. I'll stay tuned to see if somebody's remarks jog my memory.
