Blue Musical Teddy Bear over 70 years old.
He became worse for wear in the 1970s, mother took him to a doll hospital in Hawkes Bay, and the returned Teddy was NOT this bear. We complained but this teddy was GONE for good.
Any good thrift shops out there? Nothing specific.
Would like to check them out when this lockdown is over.
