The green/gold tag reads "Bera Hamburg" or "Vera Hanburg" with no other marks. I've try looking on the net & can't find any info. , perhaps some help?
I just found out that bear is by artist Beate Bera limited edition of only 10.
1 st bear is "Regis Philbin Who Wants To Be A Bearionaire" of Late Night Paws by Judy Stutzman
made of long shaggy beige German mohair, wool pads and glass eyes 17 ". He has an oversize suit jacket and pants with grey shirt, dark grey necktie, and black boots.
2nd is Baby Booja from Blessed Companion Bear Company, made in 1991, limited edition 6 of only 500 created. Original tag has company history, bear family and artist info. Artist Nanci Seely has signed and dated the tag 11-15-1991 with original price of $205.00 Original hang and price tags attached. Cute cream colored bear with wax face, tongue out, and glass eyes 7 ".
It looks very much like a Cindy Martin of "Yesterbear" . I have some for her bears , one is very early in black plush. They are not cheap "http://www.villagebears.com/index.php?m … ts_id=2000"

Try "https://www.liveauctioneers.com/" or list them on Teddy Bears & Friends web site.
He is Steiff's Alfonzo L.E. for Teddy Bear's of Whintey in England.
I got another Foskey from WWD show 1999 ! It will be here in about a week :D
Back when I made teddys I came up with "The 4 Claws Company" because they have 4 limbs & 4 senses: site , hear, taste & smell , of course there is 4 seasons. All of my bears had 4 claws also.
The brown bear in your first post is a Berg bear from Austria. He is absolutely wonderful! What a great find!
Thank you beary much . I always thought they used a red heart for there logo? I been trying to find more info. but there is no history of the company on the net.

Hello!
The last time I was on Teddy Talk their wasn't a collector's corner. I was So glad to see this new group! I have a question that I'm hoping I can get some help with. I have an artist bear by Charlene Draeger of Charbears that just isn't my cup of tea. I've posted him in a group on facebook with no luck and have no idea where else I could post him for sale. Ebay usually fetches very low prices for most artist bears and bearpile requires a $15 fee for each month and I only have the one artist bear to sell. Where do you post your bears for sale?Thanks so much!

Could post a pix of the bear?
Then you may get offers from us (if allowed? private contacts).
They are both lovely. You must be delighted with them. The brown bear is my favourite. He is such a happy bruin.
