Ty Beanie Baby 'Erin' Bear in Display Case

This item is a plush toy, specifically a Ty Beanie Baby known as 'Erin', presented in a clear acrylic display case. The bear is entirely green, a vibrant emerald or Kelly green, made from a soft, short-pile plush material with a slight sheen. It features a classic Beanie Baby design with small, rounded ears, small black bead-like eyes, and a prominent black, triangular-shaped nose. The bear's pose is seated, typical for Beanie Babies. A notable distinguishing feature is the embroidered white shamrock (three-leaf clover) on its chest, indicating its Irish theme. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for Ty products of its era, with neat stitching and uniformly distributed plush. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, repairs, or significant patina on the bear itself, suggesting it has been well-preserved within its case. The clear acrylic display case has minimal visible scratches or scuffs, maintaining good clarity. There appears to be some white text or graphics, possibly faded, on the right side panel of the case, which could be part of the product's original packaging or an added commemorative detail. Given the 'Erin' name and shamrock emblem, it is likely themed around Ireland or St. Patrick's Day. Beanie Babies from the late 1990s to early 2000s are generally considered the most collectible period. The item appears to be in very good, if not excellent, condition, indicative of being kept as a collectible rather than a plaything. The presence of the display case enhances its presentation as a collectible item.
