Huge 1979 Nabco Barbara Isenberg Red Bear & Baby Teddy Bear Felted Wool Vintage

You’ll get both. 20" Big 1979 North American Bear Co. Red Teddy . 14” Baby Bear 1984 North American Bear Co. One owner. My Momma. Unfortunately we didn’t moth proof when they were in storage and only now that I went through momma’s stuff that I see the moth damage can only have been done because the cloth is wool. No holes. Just surface knap nibbles in several places. Please enlarge all photos. Non smoking home. Put them in own chairs by the fireplace. Include them at Christmas Dinner. They’ll make you smile in any room they’re in. Both are densely stuffed with polyester and sits wherever you put them with excellent posture. Super clean. Some surface moth damage. Enlarge all head shots you’ll see the damage. Doesn’t go thru to the stuffing. Surface only. Both designed by Barbara Isenberg, president of the North American Bear Co. Little one made in Korea. Big one made in USA. PROVENANCE: These bears were used in the Bloomingdale’s stores in NYC during the Christmas seasons in 1979-early 1980’s and graced the counters and tree displays throughout the store. Employees were allowed to purchase them when they were retired from decorating. Momma and I worked there in the 70’s, mom staying longer and left when they closed the Fresh Meadows branch in the 1990’s.
