This vintage Paddington is in lovely condition. There are no splits or holes in his body or paw pads. He stands approx. 18" tall and has stumpy feet in Dunlop boots with paw prints(size 5).The boots are dated 1980. Please scroll down to see photo of  bottom of boots. His coat is in good condition. There is a tiny hole (pin head size near the top toggle) and if you look closely some marks on one arm of the coat.These really are hardly noticeable.His label is in tact but creased. (see picture).The label is dated 1972 as this is when he was designed. He has a Gabrielle label on his back too.He is hatless.He is a very chunky fellow (too many marmalade sandwiches perhaps) and so is quite heavy. The description is based on my opinion. I try to be accurate to avoid disappointment. Please ask any questions for clarification before bidding and be confident that there is no reserve. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU READ MY POSTAGE AND PACKING TERMS BEFORE BIDDING. POSTAGE AND PACKING DETAILS I prefer to send packages that are SIGNED FOR to help  protect myself and the buyer from loss I use new packing materials and these costs have already been added to the postage. I try to be fair and not make a profit on these costs. I estimate total costs by rounding up the actual postage costs to the nearest 50p or £1.00 according to the cost of the boxes and the amount of packaging used. I give refunds if I overestimate and do not ask for more if I underestimate. IF ON DELIVERY YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED PLEASE E MAIL ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.
