Here you can find bears who have seen better days and are showing their age. Some collectors are particularly keen on the vulnerable, furless and dejected bear, while others like to restore bears to their former glory wherever possible. Whatever your preference, we always give a full description of any known repairs.

Wibble is a Chiltern bear dating from the 1940s - 1950s. His mohair is now sparse, and his joints have quite a lot of play in them. This particular type of Chiltern bear were prone to develop floppy limbs and head if they were played with, as the connecting pins were often of the single type rather than the double pronged cotter pins which are stronger. However, unless you plan to play tug of war with Wibble there should not be a problem. He has a sweet face, and his rexine paw pads are in good condition. Wibble measures about 15.5 inches tall.        .

Glum Emily is a sweet but miserable Chiltern from the 1930s. Although her mohair is very sparse, the fabric is quite strong. She is fully jointed with original glass eyes and replacement linen paw pads. There are a couple of small and hardly noticeable sewing repairs to her front leg seam, and an ear is slightly coming adrift at one corner. Se wears a pretty vintage dress with little bunnies on it. Glum Emily measures approximately 15.5 - 16 inches tall.

Finlay is a light coloured Chiltern from the 1950s/1960s with the typical plastic dog nose. He has probably only about 20% fur left (if that), but is in good strong condition with original features. His rexine paw pads have surface wear, but are otherwise intact. Finlay measures about 15.5 inches.

Scruffpot is a sweet little 1930s bear. She has rather unkempt mohair (approx 50-60% coverage) and is fully jointed. Her rexine paw pads are all intact, but she is missing a mouth and her nose may be an amateur replacement.  Her best feature(s) are her large clear glass eyes with enamel on the back which give her an appealing look. She measures about 14 inches.
