Teddy Bear Artist Deborah Drown 2 3/4” Miniature Otter w/ Shell 1999 Mint NOSS

Description

This adorable mini Otter by bear artist Deborah Drown went MIA here for a while, but he has been found!  He was created in1999, is in mint condition and was bought by me directly from the artist.  He is dark brown velvet, with white snout, and holds a tiny shell in his paws.
He is semi soft stuffed, jointed at his head, hips and I think his shoulders also, but because he is holding the shell in both paws, it is hard to tell.  Eyes seem to be tiny glass beads. A real cutie, a bit of an adventurer! Deborah’s
work is always beautifully made and I found collectors were always pleased to see any new work I got from her.  He is part of my extensive remaining bear inventory and is new old store stock stored in my non smoking home.  I will be listing another piece made by Deborah, a mini Elephant in a separate auction.  I have been in the collectible doll and bear business from the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s, setting up at bear shows and listing on eBay (as cmporter) until I had to stop because of health issues.  During my time on eBay, I had earned over 1100 positive feedbacks all of which disappeared when I had to change my user name because of a major hack.  I think the pictures should give a true representation of this fellow, but if you need to see more pictures of him please email and let me know. Also, I welcome questions so don’t hesitate to ask.  If there are any other artists, VanderBears,
LE Steiff, R John Wright bears, etc., that you are looking for, let me know and I will be happy to list it ASAP if I have it!   Thank you for checking this fellow out!  Because he is priced well below his original cost, I will consider your reasonable offers. We try to ship using recycled materials whenever possible.
