Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

wow thanks oz matilda. that bottom right one does look a lot like him! he must be an earlier version of it - lol of course. i was born in 1975, so the one in the pic looks like an update. thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!

thanks oz matilda, i haven't been able to find a website that shows the verna bears, but thanks for the lead. hopefully i'll find something lol

thanks us bears
i don't know if he's knitted to tell the truth. he's made of synthetic fibres, and looks like he's machined sewed. mmm got me curious now lol. my grandad bought him and he died last year before i thought to ask him. i'll have to quiz nana and see if she knows anything else lol
thank you again

i've had my teddy bear since i was born, and he's very special to me.  but he's an unusual shape that i've never seen before. he's at least 33 years old (lol), and he's a little worn. his nose used to be conical and black, but my cousin bit his plastic nose off, and over the years it's become very flat. the yellow around his middle is very near to his original colour, due to the wonderful set of underwear he's worn lol. he also had a felt red tongue that stuck out, and that's been gone for years too. if anyone knows anything about him that would be wonderful. i'm in new zealand, and always have been. and i do think he was store bought rather than hand made. thank you very much in advance
