AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my research in bear encyclopedias I know they come from Germany but they are not labeled so I don’t know who the manufacturer is.
The left bear, which no longer has its bright yellow color, is 33 cm and has glass eyes. No buzzing sound to be heard. The fur is woven cotton and cotton fleece. The bear has 5 joints. The soles are made of a kind of thin linen. In good played condition.
The middle bear is 38 cm, has glass eyes and the legs front and back are connected by a metal wire, as are the eyes which are fixed with a thin metal wire. It has no joints in the form of discs. It has a buzzing sound but you really have to tilt it completely forward and then back up. The bear is not worn out but the limbs are somewhat loose. The other two are as well. The soles are of thin linen. In good played condition.
The right, blonde bear has a mohair coat, and all the hallmarks of a bear from the 1920s. It is possible that the bear later received child-safe eyes for safety considerations. That was very easy to change. The soles are made of worn felt and on the back of his head there is a loose piece that has been repaired. Furthermore the bear is in good played condition. Also nice, he has a good buzzing sound.
All three bears are filled with wood wool.
