‘LUCY’ LARGE OLD FARNELL – TWYFORD – ACTON TOYCRAFT BEAR c.1950s-1960s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy is a very impressive large old bear made by Farnell. Or one of their later companies – Twyford – Acton Toycraft. Over the years we have had these bears with all the labels. This woolly plush fur was used a lot by Farnell after WW2 when mohair was in short supply. The bears came in various sizes. Now rarely seen, they are adorable. Lucy is a very large bear with a standing height of 30″ (75cm) fully jointed with typical light coloured rexine paw pads. Also typically her hand paw pads have ‘blown’ as the kapok has expanded a little over the years. We have given her a temporary solution to keep her neat and all together of a sellotape ‘bandage’ which works very well. She has early non-safety plastic eyes, you can hear her growler if you tap her back and when you gently rock her back a lot of the time . She is in original condition and would be at her best with some TLC a good brush and light clean. She is priced to reflect her current condition. Her new owner may be happy to keep her just as she is. Or she can go to a local teddy hospital to have her paw pads fixed. She is a wonderful old bear who would make a perfect centrepiece in a teddy hug. No longer has a label. A bargain for someone able to give her some TLC.
