Vintage Old Bears Repeating Limited Edition “Captain Freedom” patriotic teddy bear from the Velveteen Rabbit series. Numbered #65 of only 1,000 produced — a very low, early number in the limited run.

Good clean preowned condition with minimal shelf wear only.

This charming antique-looking, pre-loved bear features a beige plush body with brown paw pads and stitched details. He wears a patriotic outfit including a stars-and-stripes fabric hat with black brim and red/white/blue ribbons, a red vest with white buttons and flag accents, and a stars bow tie. He holds a small American flag on a wooden pole with decorative finial (flag shows light fraying at edges, typical of age and fabric).

Original paper tags attached:

• Front tag: “Old Bears Repeating® Limited Edition” with illustration, quote “ONCE YOU ARE REAL YOU CAN’T BE UGLY”, and heart border.
