I got this bear at an antique toy fair recently because he is somehow both terrifying and cute at the same time, and it intrigued me. I have no idea who his maker is, and the seller didn't either. She let me have him for £10 even though everything else at the fair was in the hundreds. Google says "Robert Raikes" but he doesn't look like any of the photos.

I have decided to give him the very creative name of "Mr. Bear". He just seems like a Mr. Bear to me. At some point I'd really like to make him some cute little clothes. 🐻
