SOLD (1915-20) Scott £125 Bing

SOLD (1915-20) Scott £125 BingI'm selling one of my prized Smiles bears to make some more shelf room! I now have seven bears which are now generally accepted as being Chad Smiles bears. There was a postcard of a smiling little girl, a smiling doll and a smiling Chad bear like this one. These bears then became known as "Smiles bears". Scott is a solid bear with nose from the very early experimental period Chad went through. One small stitch is missing. He sports an old kilt which

long and wears a lovely red jacket with hat

I'm not convinced this is one of them

He still retains his original felt paw pads
