Does anyone recognize this bear?

Profile picture for user pigwolfer

Description

does anyone recognize this old bear?  he's about 13 inches tall... arms and legs rotate.  i have no idea if the vest is original but i'm guessing probably not.  there are not any tags nor holes in the ears.  he's got some wear and is missing an eye... but he's still in overall pretty good condition considering how old he looks.  any help would be greatly appreciated!  thanks!

If bears are not labeled ot tagged it's very hard to determine their origins. Many of the versions with moveable arms and legs are early bears, but they really need a physical by a collector to determine much more than that.

 MOHAIR TEDDY BEAR WITH HUMP & GROWLER -- STEIFF 

I am not 100% sure, but everything I looked at, looks just like yours..That could be the good news.. bad news is condition.. very poor... If it is a Stiff worth $10.00 to $50.00 

Like Lovejoy said it needs a physical inspection from a collector.
