Relay For Life Appraisal

Relay For Life Commemorative Plush Bear

This item is a plush teddy bear designed for the American Cancer Society's 'Relay For Life' event. The bear is predominantly purple and white, featuring a soft, short-pile plush material. Its main body and legs are a vibrant purple, while its muzzle, inner ears, and footpads are white. The bear has classic teddy bear styling, with small, rounded ears, a pronounced snout, and a sitting posture. The eyes are small, dark, and bead-like, and the nose is a shiny, purple, spherical button. A delicate purple satin ribbon is tied in a bow around its neck. A notable feature is a white fabric patch stitched onto its chest, resembling a postage stamp with a scalloped edge. This patch prominently displays the 'Relay For Life' logo, which includes a crescent moon design and the text 'American Cancer Society' with its recognizable flag-like symbol. On the sole of its left foot, there is a small, embroidered purple symbol, possibly representing the 'Relay For Life' logo or a related emblem. The bear appears to be in excellent, likely new, condition, housed within a clear, rectangular plastic case, suggesting it has been preserved as a collectible or commemorative item. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, repairs, or fading, indicating it has been well-protected. The manufacturing details, such as a maker's mark or specific year, are not fully discernible from the image, aside from the prominent American Cancer Society branding on the chest patch and a tag visible on the bear's right side, likely containing additional product information. The clear plastic case has a gold-colored trim around its top edge. The overall craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced plush toys, with good stitching and material consistency. Its style points to a contemporary commemorative item, likely from the 21st century.
