This is a gorgeous teddy by the name of Tod, made in 1991 by bear artist Shirley Latimer of Crafty Bears, she is one of a kind. Tod is made from a pale blue mohair. She measures 30cm / 12 inches tall and is fully jointed, she is filled with soft stuffing. Tod has a wonderful face with a part shaved muzzle, brown stitched nose and mouth and black plastic eyes. Her paw pads are made from blue felt. She really is a gorgeous looking bear and has only been used for display purposes, she still has her swing tag and is in great condition.

Hello!
We've been selling vintage toys on eBay as a business for over 5 years now, though we've sold odd bits and pieces that we've collected, and things that the children have grown out of, since way back when eBay was new.
Most of the items we sell are vintage toys, teddy bears or dolls, though we do keep an eye out for other interesting items. We usually have a good range of bears - vintage and modern and are amongst the largest bear shops on eBay. The bears include vintage/antique bears from Chad Valley, Chiltern, Merrythought and Deans and newer artist bears from all over the world. Our vintage toys regularly include tinplate and clockwork toys from Japanese makes like Yone, TPS ALPS and others like Wells and Brimtoy. We also try and keep a stock of non-military lead/tin items from Britains, John Hill, Cherilea and Crescent. For those a bit younger (but not that much) we usually have toys, games and action figures from the likes of Palitoy, MB and Spears.

We pride ourselves on describing our items well, but if you are not happy with your purchase and think we have decribed it incorrectly, please contact us. We are happy to give a full refund on safe return of the item.
