This bear is not just a toy but a treasured piece of history, embodying the warmth and nostalgia of childhoods past. Despite some signs of wear consistent with age, Alastair has retained his charm and remains sturdy, ready to bring joy to a new home or collection. Perfect for anyone, including collectors of antique teddy bears. Alastair is a rare find that tells a story of love, comfort, and timeless appeal. He is ready to be cherished and admired for years to come. Overall Measurements: Standing 16.5 inches high x 10 inches wide x 5.75 inches deep
