Benson is a bookworm and never goes out without his current book in his satchel, along with his lunch, which is more often than not a cheese sandwich 🩷
Benson is handmade by me from a gorgeous soft biscuit coloured Steiff Schulte mohair.  He has some sparse patches and mending stitches to give him an aged appearance.  His saggy belly is filled with steel shot and soft pellets for weight and texture.  
Benson wears a hand-knitted chocolate coloured boucle pullover to keep him warm, and a vintage style bell to ring if he gets lost 🤎
Benson is a large sturdy bear measuring a whisker over 13 inches from ear to paw.
Benson is an adult collectors bear and not suitable for children due to small parts.
