This is a light colored (golden?) bear. It appears to be made out of mohair and stuffed with straw. The head and the ears could have been sewn back on at one point? They are stitched with some black colored thread so I don't know if that is original or not. The original eyes are missing and buttons are currently sewn on in their place. Some of the mohair is worn off on the bear (see photos). The paws are a red colored fabric (not leather). The body is jointed and the arms and legs are moveable. The head is somewhat moveable (don't know if it used to move all the way or not, could have been re-attached at some point ). The skin under the mohair has a pinkish tinge. That is all I can think of to describe the bear. Hopefully this is enough info. I will provide photos.
