    Description

    Great looking large plush display collector piece by Lasting Endearments artist Lynn West.
    About 24" high, very firmly stuffed and probably including a wire armature inside to help him stand independently, which he does quite well.
    Dressed in a very elaborate western prospector type costume including bandana, suede vest, wooly chaps, leather belt with holsters, and a felted and stitched hat.
    Accessories include a lasso rope in right hand, an engraved golden metal (probably tin) belt buckle, a gun on each side, and a shoulder pack full of his tobacco supplies.
    Documentation includes a tag on right paw indicating limited edition number 78/100, also a tag around neck indications name, maker and year.  Lasting Endearments sewn-in-label is at back along with Lynn West's signature on back of leather vest.
    Lastly, in his tobacco pouch I found a card probably written by original owner, stating "THIS BEAR IS NO. 78 OF A LIMITED NO. OF 100.  NANCY REAGAN HAS NO. 1". Makes sense, President Reagan was a former CA governor and president in 1983 and loved the Wild West, so it was probably gifted to them.
    He is permanently in same position, arms/legs do not seem movable, and hat seems quite permanent also, FYI.
    Fantastic display piece.
    Thanks for looking!
