GUEST: My father was in the
Air Force, and he was over
in Iceland, and he brought it

over for my mother from
Iceland, I believe, maybe in
the late '50s, early '60s.

APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: I'm not real sure.

APPRAISER: What you have is a
bear that was made in Germany.

GUEST: Oh, okay.

APPRAISER: That found its
way to Iceland. Your bear
was made in the 1950s.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: So it was a new bear
when he bought it. What you
have is a bear made by Schuco.

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: And Schuco was a
competitor of Steiff. They
still make things today. They

made a wide variety of bears
and toys and cars. And what
you have here is a very unusual

bear. It's a Yes-No teddy bear.

GUEST: Oh!

APPRAISER: But what's
rare, also, it's a panda
bear. And the way it
works is, there's a lever

inside the tail, and you go like
this, and he says, "No," but
the "yes" part is not working

well. The lever has a, a little
detachment under there that's
an easy fix. When you pulled

it out of the bag, everybody
at our table just went, "Ah!"
(both laugh) It's nice, because

it's a larger size.
He's 18 inches. He's
in beautiful condition.
He has no mohair loss,

because they're wool, and
the moths often get to them.
And he's, his color is really

good. Now, what do
you think it's worth?

GUEST: I have no idea. As a
kid, he was always a scary bear.

APPRAISER: (laughs)

GUEST: And I wouldn't go near
him. So, as an adult, probably
the reason he's in such

good shape is because I keep
him tucked away, because
I still don't look at him.

APPRAISER: (laughs)

GUEST: So, value-wise,
I have no clue.

APPRAISER: Okay. Well,
the market has softened
quite a bit on all teddy
bears. But on today's

market, in a retail situation,
it would probably sell
between $900 and $1,200.

GUEST: Really?

APPRAISER: Really.

GUEST: Oh, my gosh.

APPRAISER: (laughing)

GUEST: Well, maybe I
should keep him out and
look at him more often.
