Final price, price reduced. ⭐️ Super rare This is a Winnie the Pooh sold by the British company Merrythought in 2006 under the name of Farnell. It was a North America exclusive, so it was not imported to Japan, and it is a very rare Winnie the Pooh that is not even known to professionals. The actual item is very cute and has a gentle face. Serial number 284/1926 Size: Approximately 28cm (slightly soft) The mohair is in good condition. Red vest, no moth-eaten holes. Removable with snaps. Full jointed. Glass eyes. A box with a trunk print, H29.5 x W27 x D19.5 The box cover has some age-related deterioration. I love teddy bears, especially limited edition Poohs sold at WDW, limited edition Poohs by overseas artists, and rare Poohs limited to manufacturers, which I have collected little by little from both Japan and overseas. I thought the Merrythought Pooh was rare, so I bought it from overseas. It is now a valuable item that is difficult to obtain. It has been stored at home for a long time, so please understand that it is vintage. Images 17-18 are from a personal website for reference only. No price negotiations. ⭐️ Due to shipping via Yu-Pack, Shipping is limited to those in Saitama Prefecture, Tohoku, Kanto, Shinetsu, Hokuriku, and Tokai regions.

The Farnell trademark was acquired by Merrythought in 1996, and Merrythought still makes replicas of Farnell teddy bears. The bear that became the model for Winnie the Pooh was also a Farnell bear. In 1921, the author A.A. Milne's wife bought a teddy bear for her one-year-old son, Christopher Robin, at the famous London department store "Harrods" for his birthday. That bear is called the "Alpha Bear." However, that bear was attacked by a large dog and does not exist today. Therefore, it is said that the generally known "Winnie the Pooh" was not a "Farnell" bear, but a "Steiff" bear. ~ From the web. #WinnieThePooh #classicPooh #Disney #AA Milne #EH Shepard #Pooh #WinnieThePooh #AlphaFarnell
