Catalogue Bear Ean 037177


This wonderful little character is an advert in himself as the material he is made from is covered in a catalogue print, showing pictures and script from 1906 -1908 catalogues.

Even though the edition size is 2007 pieces, each bear is almost a one off as the teddy pattern is cut out of the material in a random fashion.

This very unusal bear stands 30 cm tall and will sell out very soon.
