This cutie is a vintage Bronx Children's Zoo souvenir teddy bear. I'm not sure how old it is. One of the ears - the floppy one - looks like it's been sewed back on. It seems to be missing an interior wire like the stiff ear has. This bear is more of a display piece than a child's toy, I think, in that it is not very plush. But how can you resist that face?
My mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Now that she has passed I am selling off her collection.
