Description ~*~ ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ~*~ ANTIQUE WHITE GEBRUDER BING 20" TEDDY BEAR! FINAL REDUCED PRICE! This museum quality antique teddy bear is a RARE antique white Gebruder Bing.  Recent circumstances have led me to this difficult decision to (sadly) sell this bear who has been the superstar of my collection since he arrived. I have listed him with a Buy-It-Now and Best Offer--don't hesitate to make an offer! As you can see from the photos, this bear is EXQUISITE! He has the most beautiful full rounded angel face! Measuring a substantial 20” tall, this bruin dates to 1915 and is in exceptionally good condition for an antique bear.  He is clean and strong and retains more than 95% of his silky white mohair. Teddy is ALL ORIGINAL with brown glass eyes/black pupils and a brown stitched nose and mouth.  He is fully jointed and excelsior stuffed and in great condition with only a few imperfections which includes a small repair to his right paw, thinning to the tip of his left paw, slight thinning to the back of his legs, some patchy wear to his forehead, although, because his fur is long and plentiful it covers the thinning area. Additionally, there are also a few old stitched repairs and tiny holes in his original felt pads. However, overall, this bear is in very good condition!White Bing bears are not only harder to find than Steiff bears, but they are of equal stature and prized by many collectors, and this teddy is a superb example of an antique Bing.  It is very hard to find an antique Bing in this size, color, condition, and with such beauty! I am showing pics of him wearing a green vest, which I no longer have available so he will come to his new owner wearing his vintage white silk vest (I added one picture of him in it).  This bear would make a fine addition to any serious antique bear collection. Please scroll down and click on the supersize option to see all photos of him from every angle. Thank you for viewing!
