Eric likes to ponder.  He takes it seriously - carving out a section of each day during which he will ponder over all sorts of trivia.  Yesterday it was what he was going to have for supper (sardines on toast).  Today it’s whether it is too warm to wear his cardigan 🤎🤎
Eric is handmade by me from a slightly curly Steiff Schulte mohair.  He has black glass eyes and is fully jointed.  Eric cannot stand unaided - his knees are not what they were.  His pads are made from 100% woolfelt in a soft biscuit shade.  His saggy belly is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for weight and texture.  He wears a suede collar with bells and an authentic British bus ticket from 1952. 
Eric measures a whisker under 14 inches from ear to paw.
Eric is a collectors bear and not suitable for children.
