Vintage Ashford Russ Berrie 22 in bear. I think he is rare and from Signature Collection.

My new find. 22 inch bear with Russ Berrie sign food. He is fully jointed. Plastic eyes, Suede ribbon. Despite few information that I had found on the internet, I am still not sure if he is one of 5000 made? I had found information on bear collector site and Worth Point but they are very limited and don't point me towards any essential findings. Pass all that, I really like him and would like to know his name.
Thank you.
