Here comes the cutest vintage Paddington bear hand puppet, made in the 1970s by Gabrielle Designs. Our sweet bear puppet is made of white plush with big orange-black plastic eyes and plastic nose, and has brown felt ears. Astonishingly, the original red felt duffle coat with all four wooden toggle buttons is in finest condition, no moth ever tried to bit it! Even the old hang tag with the famous: u201cDarkest Peru to London, England via Paddington Stn` on one side and u201c`Please look after this bear Thank you` on the other is in place, with a bit of a wrinkle though.
Inside the glove the original Gabrielle Designs label is present.
Sadly, Paddington lost his hat, but in case of rain he will wear his hood, thatu2019s what he said when we asked himu2026

Sweet old Paddington puppet measures 30 cm / 11 7/8 inches when lying flat.

Please do observe that the old glove puppet will come without the stand it is shown on.
