    This iconic and mint Merrythought London Queens Guardsman has formed clothing like some of the Gollywogs. This is a rare and difficult to find bear!
    He stands 20 inches tall in his black mohair bear hat. As is proper, his golden chain is tucked under his chin. His uniform is in impeccable condition. His face, back of his paws and his feet are made from soft golden mohair and he has wool felt feet and paw pads. He has orange eyes with black pupils, an extended muzzle, embroidered nose, and stitched mouth. His original yellow cloth Merrythought tag is on his left foot. He also has his paper Merrythought Hygenic Toys tag.
    Note that he is different from most of the Merrythought London Guard Bears that look like this on the web. There are newer bears that look somewhat like this, but don't have a belt for example. Or the buttons and sleves are different. THIS IS A 1982 VINTAGE BEAR.
    This Merrythought bear is very collectible due to its wonderful character, being made of mohair, and also made in England.
    Note that he is NOT a jointed bear. He has not been played with or displayed but has been in storage in my Mom's collection of 1980's bears.
    You do not see many of these for sale - just try a web or an EBay search! What a wonderful collectible British Bear!!! For an avid Merrythought teddy bear collector this 1982 vintage bear would be quite a stunning addition to their collection.
    I will be posting many more teddy bears and teddy bear items (Steiff, Hermann, Merrythought, Grisly, Nisbet, etc!), so please
