Oliver is a story keeper.  He has boxes of books, all of which he can tell you the stories from beginning to end.  He says you are never alone when you have a book 🤎
CAUTION:  Oliver is a very loud snorer!!
Oliver is handmade by me from Steiff Schulte mohair.  He is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for a weighted soft and saggy belly.  The rest of him is filled with polycotton fibrefil for soft huggability.   He has a sparse hand-stitched nose and claws, and a hump on his back.  Oliver has vintage boot button eyes, which are authentically scuffed in places.  Oliver stands at a whisker over 10 inches tall, but cannot stand unaided. 
Oliver is a collectors bear and not suitable for children due to small parts.
