BEAR # 227            ARTIST: GUND            SOLD
German immigrant Adolph Gund started what is now the leading soft toy manufacturer in the U.S. in 1898 in Norwalk, CT.  It was one of the first companies to produce teddy bears, back in the early 1900s.  Meet Maggie, a Gund Playthings Past bear from 1983.  She is 17" tall, made of a rust colored fur.  Under all those clothes, she has a cloth body.  She wears a green and black plaid dress, white pantaloons and slip, brown hose, and brown lace up boots.  She also wears a red and black scarf and carries a snazzy brown satchel.  She is unjointed, with glass eyes and brown embroidered nose.  The hang tag indicates this is "No. 8130."
Hi! I'm Maggie! I'm ready to go shopping! From the back.
