The Teddy bear was my mother-in-laws as a child so we think it is from the late 1930's to the early 1950's. It is in excellent condition, the only thing missing is the tag. It is 14 inches tall when standing, mohair fur, felt paw pads, glass eyes, legs, arms and head move 360 degrees, and it makes sound when moved up and down and has a blue ribbon scarf. . I have take several photos of the item.
