underneath was this beautiful bear

I also think that his head and body have had the same stuffing as they are also very 'plumphy' and I can't feel any woodwool in his snout at all

and his nose stitching is original  His cotton paw pads are actually in quite good condition with just a couple of small but stable holes

He is still a very vibrant mustard colour
