What a fabulous guy!
Thank you. I thought he was cute. Do you have any advice on how to clean him?
I would not self clean him . If he is dusty dirty you can use a light suction vacum . Also a soft hair brush to fluff him up . Don't get him wet with water unless you are using just a damp cloth to spot clean and then just barely damp and press the hair between damp cloth. He looks ok to me as is though . Very cute and in very good condition .
What a Wonderful Find. I have several Knickerbocker Bears In my personal collection. Enjoy your Bear :)
