Some of the bears in our collection. The wooden bear is hand carved out of 150 year old yellow wood and has movable joints and a sterling silver name plate on his back.
We have in excess of 500 bears in total. They are varied in size and what they are made from. Some are soft and cuddly, plus there are wooden, ceramic, glass, crystal, stone, leather ones.
I'm from Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa. Tulbagh is a small farming community.

@tigerdreamer probably around 30 years. Unfortunately a fair number of the bears are in storage. I have recently been thinking about donating a number of the fluffy ones to a children's home. It seems such a waste to keep them packed away.
i recall seeing a wooden bear similar to that a long time ago back in the old country. quite nostalgic seeing yours. i know of one person who collects bears.
