Fred is a frequent napper.  It comes from spending long hours in the Lost & Found department of Waterloo Station.   He can’t remember exactly how many weeks he’s been there, but his knees have ceased and he has a permanent sniffle. 
Fred is now hopeful of finding a new home to settle into 💔💔
Fred is handmade by me from a gorgeously soft caramel coloured Steiff Schulte mohair.  He is fully jointed with a hand stitched nose and a few mending stitches to give the appearance of age.  He has beautiful dark amber glass eyes which twinkle when he’s warm and cosy, 
Fred measures a whisker over 9 inches from ear to paw when standing, but he prefers to sit.  His belly is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for weight and texture and he has a nice sturdy weight to him. He is also filled with polycotton fibrefil for soft huggability 🤎
Fred is a collectors bear and not suitable for children due to small parts.
