Posts: 1Found this bear for two dollars and couldn't pass him up. He seems to have some characteristics of older bears but I just don't know. The seam is on his chest and not his back. His arms and legs are jointed but his head is not. Any help with identifying him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. :)
PennsylvaniaSoft, beige synthetic plush.
Brown, plastic eyes with black pupils.
Black, thread-sewn nose.
Firm, shredded cotton stuffing.
Five-way disk jointed.

If he had a tag it would be sewn into the seam near his left elbow.
He's a craft Bear.
The kind of Bear you find in a craft store for making craft projects with.
I wouldn't say he's vintage but he's certainly cute.
One of his brothers is sitting right here, next to me.
"Crafty" says hi! 
Aww - Definitely a cutie! If he were mine, I'd have fun finding him some accessories to wear...

PennsylvaniaMelanie's mom used to knit and crochet. She often made outfits for bears like this.
I bet your Crafty Bear would love to have a nice sweater or a hat.
Better still, he could have a different costume for each holiday or season.
Red and green for Christmas. Black and gold for Halloween. Hearts for Vallentine's Day.
He could be one smart-dressed Bear.
