Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hm, it does look like a G.  Not really sure about the others I think I will look for a magnifying glass.

How can you tell what camera I'm using??  I just got it not too long ago so I'm not very familiar with it yet, it's unlike the other casios ive owned.  I took three additional photos and I guess I'll just PM them to mommabear without resizing them.  All the photos I've been taking are a lot clearer than what I can make out on the bear with my eyes alone.  I appreciate all the help!

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on some of the letters.  Maybe what I thought was a B/Y is actually a P?  This is the best photo I could do.

I purchased it in the USA.

I know the first one is very very similar to the type of teddy bear you can buy at the craft store but my bear is nothing like that one.  her body is hard and her fur looks unlike any thing i've seen on bears made now.

the second bear i can not make out anything really.  it looks like "Se" and then a b or a y, and then de.  I'm not sure if a photo would actually capture the signature at all and then it's dated 1-11-96

I picked up these two bears at a thrift store last year but I never could identify them.  I've looked in my Teddy Bear encyclopedia book and couldn't figure anything out.  Maybe someone on here can help.

The first bear has absolutely no markings at all.  I found it the same day I found a Steiff at the store but I don't think this is one.

Then there's this one that has also perplexed me.   Someone wrote on it's foot, but I don't know if that's an artist marking or if someone who owned the bear decided to write on it.. I can't make out what it says and I know you can't see it in the photo so I'll have to take another photo of just it's foot if that will help any.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.  It drives me crazy not knowing who produced my bears.
