My Story
"I came into a family last century, and for a long time I was the one lifted down from the pillow at bedtime and carried through the house by one small, steady pair of hands. That’s why my golden coat is a little softer in the places that were hugged most, and why I’ve learned to sit patiently with my bright eyes watching. I don’t know exactly where I was first made, but I do know what it means to be kept close. Now I’m ready for a new home that will treasure my age and let me belong again."
Size
Medium (46 cm standing)
Estimated era
Mid-20th century (approx. 1940s–1960s)
Materials
Mohair pile (likely on fabric backing), plastic eyes, moulded plastic nose, leatherette/vinyl paw and foot pads
Condition
Good vintage condition with honest wear: mohair pile shows soft thinning and general fuzzing; paw pad edges and limb seams show minor fray consistent with age and handling.
Restoration notes
Gentle surface clean and a careful mohair brush-out recommended; avoid wet washing. Workshop to check joint tension and seam integrity at paw-pad edges; only spot-stitch if any openings are found.
