Fur Grubby / some light Fur wear spots

Vintage pre 1950s Chad Valley Teddy Bear in VGC 

Could be late1930s / 40s / 50s ??

I have been told the label - By Appointment to the Queen relates to Queen Elizabeths Mother ( post 52 the Queen Mother ) 

 it’s a pre 52 bear the Queen refers to Elizabeth’s mum, not herself. After 6/2/52 the label reads by appointment to the Queen mother.

Looks like a repair stitch or 2 on rear of left arm at top.
