What does this mean?

Hi Brenna,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The multicolored cloth on the pads is later, which devalues this charming first quarter 20th Century bear considerably. In this instance, it almost certainly has more sentimental value than market value.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique tan mohair jointed teddy bear
Probably German, first quarter 20th Century
with tan mohair fur, glass eyes, sewn nose, jointed body. Apparently unmarked
13 inches
CONDITION: in worn condition with replaced pads, losses to fur and some seam separations
PROVENANCE: inherited
$75-125*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
