Fluffy the Koala

My entry in this weeks theme something old, it's my wife's Koala bear brought back from Australia by her uncle shortly after WWII, it was given to her on the day she was born hence its qualifies for something really old, as can be seen by its condition its much loved, her uncle always maintained it was made from real Koala skin, we are not so sure.
He looks very well worn & loved

Aahh! What a beautiful treasure from my country! And so pleasing to see it is so well loved :) Her uncle was nearly correct - these koalas were often made from kangaroo skin back in those days. Fav for a gorgeous treasure!

@gilbertwood Thanks for the information and Fav, Denise they are much appreciated, I've always suspected it would be Kangaroo skin, but she still would not part with it:)
