RARE LARGE OLD 1960S SOOTY BEAR 70cm
Big Sooty is a very hard to find, and rare large size Sooty type bear from the 1960s. He is all original and is a very impressive Sooty standing at 27” (70cm) He is fully jointed with glass eyes, a stitched nose and a mouth. His fur is a soft cotton plush in a distinctive gold and black colour. These bears are seldom seen in this large size. He would have been an expensive bear at the time to purchase. These enchanting bears were made in Europe after the end of WW2 for the UK Market.
For his age, he is in very good condition with just a few small areas where his fur is discoloured. His inner easr fur has a little wear. Being so large his legs have a few areas where the wood wool inside has settled, but it does not affect his outer fur. Because he is so large he is much more comfortable sitting down. He is such an iconic and adorable old bear from a wonderful era. It is hard to believe he is about 60 years old. Email for his photo file. £235
