SOLD (1907) Hecla Tommy £1125
Tommy is a very rare Hecla. He is in good condition. He has a good covering of blond mohair and a pronounced snout with cinnamon stitching. He is a little hard of hearing! His one remaining ear is set low on his head. His mohair is in good condition for someone of 120+ years old. A very handsome chap!
This company began making bears to be Americas answer to the successful German Steiff bear. The company made their bears to be almost identical to Steiff bears, they even imported the mohair from Germany! Yet, the company did not advertise much and was out of business in two years. These adorable and handsome bears are very hard to find! He has long curved arms, shoe button eyes, back hump and long nose.
