A very early bear. 1914 scarce long-voile Halloween bear which originally emitted a long squeak after pressing. He is a tiny 5 inches. His body is made from a spring. He has glass eyes and tiny ears and feet. A good horizontal nose and mouth. I can only imagine that children went round frightening people by making them jump when they made him squeak. Anyone know?
