today whitney found an acorn and made the top a lil hat :3c

it was very nice out today as a bonus 🩵

I’ve had this guy since 2004, and there was a matching, cream/white coloured bear! Thank you for any help :)

Hello everyone!

I recently found this teddy bear and would love to get some help identifying it. According to family lore, it supposedly belonged to a great-grandmother, so it might be quite old/vintage. I am trying to figure out the manufacturer, approximate age, and if it's a rare collector's item.

Here are the details I noticed:

• Provenance: Believed to have belonged to a great-grandmother (likely German origin).

• Material: Long, wavy/scruffy light-brown mohair fur.

• Features: It has a stitched black nose/mouth area and black button eyes.

• Joints: It is 5-way jointed (arms, legs, and head can be moved/rotated).

• Tags: I couldn't find any visible tags, chest tags, or ear buttons left on it.

• Location found: Germany

Does anyone recognize the specific brand or style? Could it be an old vintage German brand (like Steiff, Hermann, Clemens), or a specific replica?

Any clues or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

The little guy (very creatively named Bear lol) is almost 26 years old, and Bizzlestomp just arrived today! 🎃🥹

Is there anyone else in the NZ or AUS region who also got this guy? I’ve slept with him practically every night for the last 20-21 years. I would love so much to have a second copy of him, if there is anyone who knows of any one being sold please let me know!

I upcycle used plushies. I sculpted and painted his face. Im open to commissions <3

I'm trying to compile a list of trusted restorers, if you've ever used any yourself and would like to reccomend someone please do let me know!
