The neck has been sewn in place, but you can see that it was originally jointed. This bear is unusual and early. He is presently dressed in a cute Beefeater Outfit which is newish, but fits him perectly. I have seen dolls that were made with this same brown wool body and a brown woolen hood over the face, around the time snow babies were made. Some of the faces were bisque and other celluloid. This teddy bear was probably from that same era.The outfit has a white accordian pleated collar and has a bright yellow crown on the front with yellow and black stripe braiding on either side of the crown and also on the sleeves.
