z(1950) Label Howard and Bernard. Josie Rockett Schuco Joints: The limbs are usuallyShowcased by Josie Rockett These lovely two are two giant identical Deans Rag book bears made in the early 1950s. I say identical but they definitely have their own characters. My daughter has named them Bernard and Howard, they each measure 28 inches long are made from mohair and have their original plastic safety eyes backed with felt. They are soft stuffed, most likely with sub stuffing and amazingly they have both held onto their Deans labels.
