He is 11 inches tall with boot button eyes, a small head, tiny features and felt lined ears. He is fully jointed and hard stuffed with felt pads. He has sadly lost his voice. Or does he have the peanut shaped body of an American bear? Description Date 1913 Make English? Label Fabric Mohair Size 11 ins Eyes Boot button Features Small
