HARRY
Harry is a very special old boy, named after the last surviving World War I Tommy, Harry Patch, who sadly passed away recently aged 111.
Harry is made to look like he was in his prime around 1920, but is in an original Magpie Bear designed and created by me, and distressed by hand to give him that well-worn appearance. He is, however, still full of life, if not a little regimented in his ways – like all war heroes!
Although Harry is a strong old boy, he cannot stand unaided and is a little tottery on his legs! From head to paw Harry measures 12 inches when standing. He is made from 100% pure German mohair with German glass eyes, and is traditionally stuffed with wood wool, steel shot, plastic pellets and sand for weight and texture. He also has a good dose of love, and a smattering of war hero pride stuffed into his saggy belly! He is 5-way hardware jointed so his head, arms and legs are all moveable.
His celebration hat is made from an original 1950s newspaper, and his right foot is stamped with initials ‘VM’ so you know you are getting an original Vintage Magpie bear.
