Us Bear,
Sorry, I was heading off to work this morning and should have researched my response better.

The eyes are heavily scratched, but do not appear to have lines coming out from the center. Both eyes appear to have a textured brown ring on the outside. The black pupils also have what seems like a small piece of metal in them. They are very hard to make out, but my wife says she thinks there are two in each eye, almost as if they were trying to evoke the holes of a button.

I took pictures, but I don't have a macro setting, so the detail isn't good. Here are two of the better images, and a reduced size of each.

Us Bears, the fur bears (no pun intended) a resemblance to some of the knicker bockers I looked up, but his arms are stubby. As for "spangly" eyes, does this mean glittery or shiny? They are simple worn old plastic and I believe they are amber.

Thank you, Us and Jo, for helping.

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this bear. I want to get it restored, but I would like a baseline to compare it to, and especially a picture. It was well loved by its owner, so it is very warn. The tag is long gone.

It was purchased 34 years ago so it is most likely 1976 or earlier. The person who bought it thinks they might have purchased it at a Sears in Arizona, but their memory is very suspect.

I think it could be a Pedigree.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
