Vintage Gold Mohair Jointed Teddy Bear

This is a small vintage teddy bear, approximately 8-10 inches in height, constructed from golden-brown mohair plush. The bear features a traditional five-way jointed body, though it currently displays significant signs of age and wear. The facial features consist of a single remaining black disc eye, a hand-stitched vertical black yarn nose, and a wide mouth stitched in a similar manner. A prominent characteristic is the crude, heavy corrective stitching across the forehead and torso, suggesting a historical repair or a 'make-do' restoration. The paw pads appear to be made of a dark brown felt or fabric, showing fraying around the edges where they meet the mohair. The mohair itself shows thinning and loss in several areas, particularly around the seams and joints. The overall construction and aesthetic suggest a production date from the mid-20th century, likely between the 1930s and 1950s. There are no visible maker's marks or tags in the current view, but the pointed muzzle and high-set ears are typical of early to mid-century European or American toy manufacturing patterns. The bear's condition is fair to poor, displaying significant patina and structural fatigue that reflects decades of use as a toy.
