Up for sale is a wonderfully charming, highly collectible vintage 1950s rubber-face "Pouting Bear" (also known to collectors as the Sad or Crying Bear), manufactured by the iconic Knickerbocker Toy Company. This mid-century kitsch classic features an incredibly expressive molded vinyl face with closed sleeping/crying eyes, long painted eyelashes, and a sweet downturned pout.
Condition Details:
Please review the photos carefully to evaluate this vintage piece:
Rubber Face: In excellent vintage condition! The molded vinyl face is clean, pliable, and free of dry rot. The original factory paint details—including the black eyelashes, rosy cheeks, and red mouth—are remarkably crisp and bright with almost no paint loss.
Plush Fur: The brown plush body shows typical signs of age, including vintage fur matting, clumping, and light thinning around the paws and seams from long-term storage.
Tags/Accessories: The original cloth tag and neck ribbon are no longer present.
An adorable, hard-to-find addition to any mid-century plush, pastel kitsch, or Rushton-era rubber face collection!
