This bear's name is Teddy. Its owner obviously loved it dearly as the bear's mohair is very worn away in places and its paws have several repairs. Teddy's clothes were specially made. The bear's owner knitted the scarf when she was seven years old. Teddy has another outfit to wear - a pair of stripy pyjamas.
