Description: This bear is a great addition to your Teddy Bear, toy or vintage plushy collection. He is in way better condition than any others I've seen with early 90%+ of his fur intact. His back lever does work and makes his lower jaw move up and down for the growling motion. His eyes are both intact and looked great. Tag is tattered on the bottom end. Joints move but I didn't want to move them a lot and risk damaging him. Paws all have minor wear as pictured. I took the best pics I could but if there's something you need to see let me know and I'll gladly send pics. I'm open to offers but the only sales history is a similar one that has less than 5% of its fur and got around $60.
