He is five-way jointed, glass eyes, hand-stitched mouth and nose, felt pads. He wears a handmade collar, crafted by an artist from an antique bells. He is signed on the foot by the artist(fading see picture) and on his stitched-in tag. He has his original swing tag. His original price was $295. As with all Stier bears, he is quite substantial at 19 inches and has his functioning "cry" box intact.
Pre-owned and cared for by a collector and stored in a climate controlled, non-smoking environment.
