SOLD (1908) Bing. Rattle Sold £170 26ins In one of my books

In one of my books I read that the very first Chads had a chest button with the words “British Made”

He went to auction once and was bought back buy his owner for twice the price she'd sold him for

A magnificent Bing with the outline and holes of his button on his neck

The paws and foot pads are marked and I did not feel that I should try to rub them too hard to clean them

Lovely old 1950 Deans teddy bear measuring 16" to the tip of her ears
