WEBVTT 00:02.000 --> 00:05.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% GUEST: My father was in the Air Force, and he was over in Iceland, and he brought it 00:07.033 --> 00:10.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% over for my mother from Iceland, I believe, maybe in the late '50s, early '60s. 00:12.933 --> 00:13.933 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% APPRAISER: Okay. 00:13.933 --> 00:15.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% GUEST: I'm not real sure. 00:15.466 --> 00:17.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% APPRAISER: What you have is a bear that was made in Germany. 00:17.000 --> 00:19.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% GUEST: Oh, okay. 00:19.066 --> 00:22.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% APPRAISER: That found its way to Iceland. Your bear was made in the 1950s. 00:22.400 --> 00:24.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% GUEST: Okay. 00:24.433 --> 00:28.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% APPRAISER: So it was a new bear when he bought it. What you have is a bear made by Schuco. 00:29.000 --> 00:31.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% GUEST: Right. 00:31.033 --> 00:34.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% APPRAISER: And Schuco was a competitor of Steiff. They still make things today. They 00:36.866 --> 00:40.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% made a wide variety of bears and toys and cars. And what you have here is a very unusual 00:42.266 --> 00:46.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% bear. It's a Yes-No teddy bear. 00:46.566 --> 00:49.133 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% GUEST: Oh! 00:49.133 --> 00:52.533 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% APPRAISER: But what's rare, also, it's a panda bear. And the way it works is, there's a lever 00:54.833 --> 00:59.800 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% inside the tail, and you go like this, and he says, "No," but the "yes" part is not working 01:02.433 --> 01:07.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% well. The lever has a, a little detachment under there that's an easy fix. When you pulled 01:09.400 --> 01:12.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% it out of the bag, everybody at our table just went, "Ah!" (both laugh) It's nice, because 01:14.666 --> 01:19.233 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70% it's a larger size. He's 18 inches. He's in beautiful condition. He has no mohair loss, 01:21.200 --> 01:25.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% because they're wool, and the moths often get to them. And he's, his color is really 01:26.966 --> 01:28.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% good. Now, what do you think it's worth? 01:28.433 --> 01:33.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% GUEST: I have no idea. As a kid, he was always a scary bear. 01:33.166 --> 01:35.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% APPRAISER: (laughs) 01:35.200 --> 01:38.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% GUEST: And I wouldn't go near him. So, as an adult, probably the reason he's in such 01:38.933 --> 01:43.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% good shape is because I keep him tucked away, because I still don't look at him. 01:44.700 --> 01:45.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% APPRAISER: (laughs) 01:45.900 --> 01:48.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% GUEST: So, value-wise, I have no clue. 01:48.066 --> 01:52.866 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70% APPRAISER: Okay. Well, the market has softened quite a bit on all teddy bears. But on today's 01:54.733 --> 01:58.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80% market, in a retail situation, it would probably sell between $900 and $1,200. 01:58.566 --> 01:59.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% GUEST: Really? 01:59.566 --> 02:00.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% APPRAISER: Really. 02:00.566 --> 02:01.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% GUEST: Oh, my gosh. 02:01.600 --> 02:03.266 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% APPRAISER: (laughing) 02:03.266 --> 02:05.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70% GUEST: Well, maybe I should keep him out and look at him more often.
