Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thanks for reply, what do you think of its value ? I don't really collect teddy bears and want to sell it, will probably list it on Ebay soon, but wanted to get an idea of starting bid.

Here is the background story, I went to a local thrift store and was looking to get some cheap toys for my dog, cuz he destroys toys pretty fast… and as I was looking this caught my eye, I know nothing about bears but can see quality when I see it.. what is it ? Looks like hand made and was wondering the value ? I think I paid a few bucks for it, thanks!

Also looks in very good condition for something made in 1979.
