Greetings!
I bought this bear recently on eBay and love him! (Or her!)
I'm pretty sure it hasn't been made recently (im preparing myself for someone saying it was made in 2008 🙂 ) but was wondering if anyone could help me find out who made him so I can source other similar teak animals.
The head and tail are solid brass.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

there
is an itinerant sculptor who made is way up and down the west coast I THINK in the 1970's carving animals out of mostly teak. Almost anything. I have a couple. He was quite prolific. This COULD be one of his? Most i have seen didn't have metal details, though.
EDIT - It really does look like his work. I'll see if I can find his name again
(Where are you located? West coast Maybe?)
