C James Hatfield... by Jamie Elkins Taylor This is C. James (Jamie) Hatfield named due to the name being inside the military hat. This is my very first center seam. Yes I still have it from many many years ago. I recently had my photo taken with it for a magazine article and someone wanted it. I dressed it and she regretfully couldn't go through with the transaction due to illness. So instead of keeping him in the storage tub I thought I would put him up for sale. He is OOAK..my very first center seam from about 15 years ago. I don't remember when I made him. He's been hanging around and visiting with me. I love this old hump back bear and if you'd like to see more photos of him just send me your email address. That's the reason I marked him as used is due to the fact I've had him such a long time. I'm the designer of this bear and his original owner...has never left my hands. Jamie stands 22" and was created out of the finest Edinburgh antique gold sparse stringy mohair. The mohair I dream about..love this stuff! He is locknut jointed with hardboard discs. Stuffed heavy and then antiqued. He has shoe button eyes and a elaborate stitched nose. I worked for hours on the nose alone. I have never done another one like that..whew. I have since made hundreds of bears from this pattern..but never another mohair. There is too much money involved with this fur and I like to keep my bears more reasonably priced.He will come as photoed. Oh my where to start. Original vintage or antique military wool hat..I added patches and pins. He's sporting a cream undershirt with still more patches..a dashing vest I hand made with metals and a pair of old specs that fit on the nose...still more stuff and a scarf out of wool. I added a pair of antique brown baby walkers hard soled and really cool. He's a dashing old military bear..my personal best I feel.I will ship worldwide but I'm very cautious of doing so. Please contact me before as I was recently burnt on ebay and won't repeat that experience. I will consider lay a way or payment plan. I also have thi s li sted on another site that takes major credit cards and not just paypal so if you need payment options please contact me. Please email wi th any questions regarding this little darling. I ship almost daily and wil l let you know when he's on his way to you. I used my full name in the listing this time in case anyone wants to look me up on facebook. I'm Jamie Elkins Taylor...there is a whole bear community on there sharing photos and what not...it's a fun time. Or I have a business page under thebearjoint on facebook. Do to ebay buyer p rot ection I can no longer a fford to risk shipping overseas. If you are a re gular customer of mine or a friend on facebook contact me and I will give you international shipping rates. Thanks for under standing..it's frustrating for us sellers. Now you see that someone ha d the audacity to leave negative feed back after purchasing an item from me and not paying for 20 days. She even contacted me 5 days prior saying she was on the way to the ban k and would pay that day then I heard nothing. I patiently waited and emailed her and told her I canceled the transact ion without leaving her negative feedback and just sold the doll to a paying buyer. Although she sent me nasty emails I asked her to no longer contact me and I blocked her. She was still able to leave me nega tive feedback w hich ebay is looking in to. I'm very distressed over the whol e situation but feel my reputation as a upstanding seller will spea k for itself. Thank you. read more
