Very Sweet Old Carved, Articulated Wooden Bear 20th century which I believe dates toSuch a good one, almost like a shadow gently loping along, and with just the right amount of belly, and this great combination of aged dry wood body and brown painted arms and legs. Perhaps he was once an acrobat, or a shadow puppet, as there are two small holes in one of its paws, the other one slightly chipped which gives it a claw like feel. If one could snuggle with a wooden toy, this would be the one! 7 3 4 t x 2 1 8 w with arms down, 9 16" d.
