Albert, Albie for short,  suffers with a bad back, as a result of many years spent bent over a desk, and his illustrations. His eyesight has also been better, but in good light with his glasses he can get by quite nicely.  
Albert is handmade by me from a beautifully soft toffee coloured Steiff Schulte mohair.  His saggy belly is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for weight and texture and polycotton fibrefil for soft huggability.  He has some sparse patches and a few mending stitches 🤎
Albert measures 11 inches from ear to paw.
Albert is an adult collectors bear and not for children.
