Mini Vintage Paddington Bear

Profile picture for user 0016269441

Description

This mini Paddington Bear has a tag on his coat which clearly reads "Please look after this bear thank you," and his suitcase can be pulled down from between his arm and side and it has a sticker on it that clearly reads, "WANTED ON VOYAGE." I have personally had this bear in my possession for 20 years and it was given to me by a woman who said it belonged to her mother before she passed away. Granted the darkened color of his features has fadded over the years, nevertheless, he is unique and looking good in his old age.

History
I have personally had this bear in my possession for 20 years and it was given to me by a woman who said it belonged to her mother before she passed away. When she entrusted this antique to me she explained that it is an original and very old. Over the years and after looking into Paddington Bear's history I would say he most likely dates back to 1959 or early 1960's.
