This beautiful, large antique musical teddy bear was originally a bright shade of green mohair, now faded to an off white/grey colour. I believe that’Helvetic’ is a generic name for musical teddy bears like mine, so it is not always possible to directly attribute bears to a specific maker. I have provided a fairly detailed condition report, which covers ted’s most obvious flaws/repairs, but what I have not mentioned is that amazingly, his musical bellows mechanism is in excellent working order. I do not recognise the tune he plays, but guarantee that it plays loud and clear. These characterful, musical teddy bears from the 1930s era are understandably highly prized and I think the (18) generous size of my bear, makes him even more special. The item “Exceptionally Rare 18 Antique 1930s German Helvetic Musical Bellows Teddy Bear” is in sale since Sunday, March 8, 2020. This item is in the category “Dolls & Bears\Bears\Antique”.

This is a wonderful antique French face Belton Sonnenberg standing 22 inches tall. She is on her early ball jointed body and her bisque is beautiful with no chips cracks or repairs. She has a stunning face with large almond shaped deep brown set paperweight eyes, exquisite painting, and closed mouth that is delicately outlined and shaded. Her quality of bisque is exceptional and her coloring is stunning in person. Her eyes are like brown velvet, soft and luminous. This gorgeous girl has an extra long human hair wig that falls in curls past her waist. She wears an exquisite high quality seamstress made dress of vintage lace with antique ribbon and ribbon work trim. It has attached lining and closes in the back with hooks and eyes. It fits her perfectly. Underneath she wears antique slip and Pantaloons. She has crochet socks and leather shoes with ribbon ties. Her composition body is in good condition, it is strung a bit loosely but she will stand freely. She has been restrung at some point. She has some old repaint to her forearms and hands. The paint/finish shows scratching and scuffing, as expected. She is incised 137 14. Her bisque is excellent and beautiful with no damage or repair. Small in the making pimple on her temple, and some wear on the nose. Photos do not do her justice, she is stunning. She has the most beautiful face and a lovely soft expression.
