The white/cream one looks like a Steiff is 24" tall & the open mouth free standing one is about 11". I'll post more later.
Congrats on your new teddies.
Both bears are wonderful! The mohair on the white bear looks especially soft and dense.

Lovely bears, lucky you.
They are both lovely. You must be delighted with them. The brown bear is my favourite. He is such a happy bruin.
Wow! wonderful bears! I don't know which one I like better. The bottom one is so unique, I can't read the tag, can you tell me who the maker is?

The green/gold tag reads "Bera Hamburg" or "Vera Hanburg" with no other marks. I've try looking on the net & can't find any info. , perhaps some help?
