Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you all so much for your help!  I've sent Mr. Yenke an email and hope he can identify the bear for us.

Thanks again!  You all are great!

Hello all!

I hope someone on here can help me identify a teddy bear.  And because I want to be upfront with all of you, I do want you to know that I am an antiques dealer by trade.  I tell you this because the bear I need help identifying does not belong to me -- this very sweet older gentleman has asked for my help with some of the bears that belonged to his late wife.  I've seen her collection and a good many of her bears are Steiff (with buttons, tags, and all). 

However, there is one very large bear that we can't identify.  It is a very large bear (24 inches long), with jointed arms and legs.  I think it's made from mohair, which is worn.  Also,  his eyes have come out (but I still have them - just can't figure how to put them back in, or even if I should).

Any and all help will be most appreciated!

Thanks!

Martha
