Thank you very much for your help BlackmoonBear and Jenbee. Most definitely a hedgehog and definitely unusual. The later date is a good match for a Micki copy. I'll follow up on the suggestions. Going to keep her in hopes of one day finding her mate. Thank You.
Hi fellow bear lovers. Occasional lurker here. Hobbyist bear builder and sometimes bear doctor.
A friend brought this to me a few days ago. Hours of research later and I am still completely stumped.
This bear measures about 9 inches tall. It very much resembles Mama Berenstain bear but I can't find any reference to them making anything that looked like this. The head is sewn onto the body. The dress is stitched to the body. The body is center stitched. Eyes and nose are glass. The body is hard and crunchy. A small hole in the fabric of the hand reveals what looks like woodwool. The stitching is tight and machine done. There are twelve different fabrics used. The face, ears, shoes, and foot pads are felt. There are no tags.
