This is a vintage little 5-inch bear, MR. BIBBLES by artist Linda B. Schaff.  He was made in 9/92 and is fully jointed with black shoe button glass eyes. He wears a little white bow tie. He is weighted with pellets so he sits wonderfully and has an endearing smile to make your day better.

As a lifelong asthmatic MR BIBBLES has never been exposed to smoke, perfume or scent of any kind; he has been kept in a glass case since the day I bought him from Linda. I owned a teddy bear shop for 23 years in Prescott, Arizona, and Linda was a favorite artist of mine. It's difficult to have a store for things that you collect and I honestly never made any money from the shop. 

As I have gotten older I don't want my collection going to a thrift store someday and want the special bears and other animals to go to homes where they will continue to be loved and cherished.
