Near Edinburgh, ScotlandThis is an old Teddy and what remains of his coat I think is green Mohair? He has a Music Box in the chest which is 9cms high by 9cms wide and 8cms deep. There is some sound from it when pushed. Can any one help me identify the old chap?
It looks a lot like this musical Jopi teddy, i am not sure on age though.
What a lovely bear 
Oh, wow, Jenbee--you found his twin!
Fun mohair colors were popular in the 1920s and 1930s, I hear.

Hehe yes i was surprised how similar the pictures were, i did see another slightly different looking one that was 1930's although it looked like it had been restored. So my guess would be that this one is definitely pre- war but i don't know for sure. It is a nice green mohair with velvet paw pads, i bet he was very handsome in his day
Near Edinburgh, ScotlandThank you for all your comments 
I was amazed at how big the music box in the chest is and even more amazed when I got some sounds out of it too 
I must haste away now and look into Jopi teddies, wish me luck, Blue
Near Edinburgh, ScotlandI have just acquired this cute Merrythought parrot. Does anyone know if he is vintage? 
Thanks, Blue
