Vintage Country Teddy Bear Lot of 3 Shiloh Springs Bears Jointed Artist Handmade

Description

3 adorable handmade teddy bears from Shiloh Springs Bears in the 1980s-1990s. Largest is an early prototype from artist Kay Drummond, who later began Shiloh Springs Bears.
Smaller bears are each 12” tall standing. Each is signed on the bottom of the bloomers, dated ’92 and ’93. According to tags, the tan bear is
Beth
, made of Mohair with German glass eyes. The dark brown bear is
Hillary
and is German Mohair with German glass eyes. Each has a country dress with lace collar, bloomers, and jointed limbs and head. Lace collar is separate and rotates - in the pics it is backward on Beth, but has been fixed.
Large bear is one of the artist’s first. She is 21” tall standing and has no tag but is signed on the foot. She is fully jointed and wears a calico dress with a tie-on lace apron and collar and bloomers. I am unsure what materials were used, but she is heavy and well made.
Great shape; these were owned by the mother-in-law of the artist (also my family). Large bear has some age spots on the bloomers; I see no other flaws and no odors.
Shiloh Springs Bears are original, one-of-a-kind bears and very nice quality. I have many more photos (eBay limits us to 12) so if you need more, just click Contact Seller and ask.

Shipping Questions Answered:
I realize it is high, but the exact shipping rate is calculated by eBay using your ZIP. I don’t add anything for supplies or handling.
Box weighs about 10 lbs and is “oversized” by USPS standards, requiring a higher shipping rate. I have no control over this. I'm an experienced shipper (over 4,000 packages) and I’ve done all I can to reduce cost. Priority is the cheapest option with the online shipping discount; these will not fit in a Flat-Rate.
Local pickup is free. If you can meet in Orlando, message me and I will create a local pickup option.
