BEAR # 217     HOUSE OF NISBET     Made in England          SOLD
The House of Nisbet started as a doll-making venture in the early 1950s.  In the late 1970s, it added collectible teddy bears to its line.  Nisbet dolls and bears are known for their authenticity and quality.  A team of dedicated and highly skilled needle-women in West Country of England create the company's products.  Much of the work is done by hand, meaning no two bears are exactly alike.  This is the Body Language Bear (model 5301).  His special talent  is that "He speaks to you in the way you pose him."  And he's very posable, in that his arms and legs bend.  He stands on a special metal plate, so that he doesn't need any support.  He's part of a limited edition of 5,000 bears, all denoted by a sewn in label and an accompanying certificate of authenticity, which is signed by Jack himself.  In addition, each bear is signed by his creator (and founder of the House of Nisbet), Jack Wilson, on a pure leather patch.  Fully jointed, he's 15" tall, made of a luxury mohair, which is distressed in the style of Delicatessen and Jack's Bear.  He has black eyes, an embroidered nose and mouth, and leather paw pads.  He's from 1987.
