Manufacturer: Japan Christmas Ornaments
Nifty find out of a home. This is a vintage hanging Christmas Tree ornament with a tag marking "Made in Japan" on the backside, so it is likely from the 1950's - 1970's period. It is a bear dressed in a Marching Band uniform who looks to be carrying a flute in his/her hands. It is possible that this is meant to be a baton like the leader of a Marching Band might carry, but from the outfit and the way the silver item is carried, we think this bear is a musician in the band who plays a flute.
Fully formed figure, made of fuzzy materials or flocking or cloth, with the uniform made of felt and the flute a rolled silver paper type item. Measures about 5 inches greatest length not including the hanging loop, about 2 5/8 inches greatest width from hand to hand, and about 1 7/8 inches greatest depth. Lightweight, weighing almost .4 ounces, this will be shipped in a small box for safety.
The hanging loop is neatly made a part of the outfit, seeming to be the gold vertical decoration on his hat but then extending further to the full loop. His uniform is red with red pants and suspenders (no shirt) and a red hat with gold trim and a slight black front piece. The bear is a nice fuzzy light beige/light brown color with a white formed nose, white felt on the interior of his ears and on the ends of his hands/paws and feet, with felt eyes of light blue with black pupils. There is also a small light blue bow tie hidden beneath the flute he is holding.
Very nice overall condition with no major flaws but there is some age/use wear. We see a bit of unravelling of the silver paper of the flute on one end but not bad. There is a bit of white form and flocking missing on one spot of his nose where it meets his face on his right side with a small curved indent here. We don't know if he was slightly marred in storage or bumped up to something, etc., but this doesn't jump out at you or would likely be noticed when hanging on a tree. There are some glue remains on his clothes as made, some very light spots in places which may be wear/dirt, other touches of light dirt, and likely other slight age/use/storage wear, but nothing to worry about here.
Please review the images, using the zoom feature for closer examination.
