This is Sooty, He's a fun little 9" bear and I believe was made in the 1950's
I've given him a clean this week and also made him a cute clowns hat and collar. The hat was made by wet felting with wool and his collar is made of linen...He is available to purchase and if you would like to see more of his photos and details please take a look at his file on the 'unkown makers' section....(if anyone does know his make I would love to know, I'm always open to learning more about these lovely old bears)
I'll be choosing another bear to restore and dress next week so please do take another look on here soon.....Thanks for following the updates.
