Bears, by Deleted on Jun 7, 2016 18:44:34 GMT 1, I quite like wooden bears, bought my first one around 25 years ago, cute little thing hand carved in the Swiss town of Brienz in around 1890.
ever since then, when ever over the years we went to a boot sale or antique fair these little wooden bears would be on my wish list. Picked a good few up and missed out on a good few due to budget, then flogged around 15 of them to the americans when we went through a bad skint phase when the kids were younger.
Still got around 10 or so all around 6" high
Anyhow, to the point, look what I just bought.................... 20 years it has taken for the wife and I to get one of these
Mad this collecting business, love it!!
