Limited Edition Gray Mohair Merrythought Teddy Bear Sailor #282/1,000 11in EUC

Description: Please meet Crosby, a handsome limited edition Merrythought Teddy bear from England! He just has his foot and side labels. The side label is signed by a Holmes family member. He is number 282 of an edition of 1,000 produced. He was originally part of a boxed set produced in the 1990's of three Naval type bears, but now that he's all grown up, he's making his own way. He is made of a soft gray mohair that is in perfect shape. He has large brown eyes and a black stitched nose and mouth. His paw pads are wool felt. He wears a navy blue felt jacket with white piping and an inset blue and white striped fabric with a matching felt hat. They are all removable. He is solidly stuffed. He is five-way jointed and in excellent, pristine condition. Crosby is 11 inches tall and weighs 9 ounces. Could he be the one for you??? He is looking for a home where he can navigate the high seas with you and your bears by the Southern Cross! :0) Please note: Upon payment, I ship the next business day. Whenever possible, my items will now be sent out USPS Ground Advantage, which is much less expensive than Priority Mail, but slightly slower, by a day or two. Occasionally I use my personal discounted FedEx account as well for larger, heavier items. If you'd like me to send something Priority, please let me know. With regret, I am downsizing my teddy bear collection. I have many different types, which I will be listing in the coming weeks (or months or maybe even years). For the most part, I relist all the bears that don't get adopted the first time around on the last Saturday of the month. I live in a smoke-free home, but I do have cats who are barred from the bear room and bunny room(!). Names, names, names: If I'm listing an animal crafted by an artist, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances (don't ask), I do not know his or her proper name. I simply rename them using my own imagination (which is admittedly quite active). This is not a slight to the talented artist who created them or meant to confuse the collector...just a way to give them a bit of personality and to have a little fun! (Feel free to change their name and protect the innocent!) A quick note about shipping: Don't you hate it when you're overcharged by a seller on shipping???? A gazillion dollars to cross the pond or go across the country. It's ridiculous. I am striving to be accurate in my listing, but sometimes ebay's calculator is way off (especially for those outside the U.S.). When i calculate shipping, I add in extra weight for the box. If you're interested in an item outside the U.S., don't be scared by what the calculator is telling you. Please contact me and I'll find out exactly what it would cost to post to your country and make a note in the listing. I'll never overcharge you. If I quote you a number and i can get it to you cheaper, I'll immediately refund the difference. Please note I am not an expert in teddy bears...I am only downsizing. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Please see pictures. They are part of the description. Additional pictures on request. Payment is due within THREE days of auction end. Combined shipping is always available. I only charge actual shipping costs. If it turns out the shipping estimator is wrong above $1, I will refund you the difference. I am willing to ship internationally, but please ask if I post to your country and what it would cost BEFORE you bid, as it could be very expensive. Ebay's calculator can be off either too high or too low! Check out my other teddies that I am listing this week. Thank you for looking at my auction
