Running Bear and not the Indian!

I was delighted to find this treasure of a bear. What else could he be called but Teddy? As you can see, he is fawn with contrasting mid brown paws.

He is fully jointed at the neck, shoulders and hips so poses readily. He can sit and wave, go for a run or just look like an antique friend waiting to play.

Teddy has a stiffened satin bow trimmed with gold thread and looks like a toy passed down from my Grandma. As I found him hiding on an online auction, though, it seems he came from the Grandma of someone else.
