1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,066
GUEST: My father was in the 
Air Force, and he was over 
in Iceland, and he brought it

2
00:00:07,033 --> 00:00:10,133
over for my mother from 
Iceland, I believe, maybe in 
the late '50s, early '60s.

3
00:00:12,933 --> 00:00:13,933
APPRAISER: Okay.

4
00:00:13,933 --> 00:00:15,466
GUEST: I'm not real sure.

5
00:00:15,466 --> 00:00:17,000
APPRAISER: What you have is a 
bear that was made in Germany.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,066
GUEST: Oh, okay.

7
00:00:19,066 --> 00:00:22,400
APPRAISER: That found its 
way to Iceland. Your bear 
was made in the 1950s.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,433
GUEST: Okay.

9
00:00:24,433 --> 00:00:28,400
APPRAISER: So it was a new bear 
when he bought it. What you 
have is a bear made by Schuco.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,033
GUEST: Right.

11
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:34,900
APPRAISER: And Schuco was a 
competitor of Steiff. They 
still make things today. They

12
00:00:36,866 --> 00:00:40,200
made a wide variety of bears 
and toys and cars. And what 
you have here is a very unusual

13
00:00:42,266 --> 00:00:46,566
bear. It's a Yes-No teddy bear.

14
00:00:46,566 --> 00:00:49,133
GUEST: Oh!

15
00:00:49,133 --> 00:00:52,533
APPRAISER: But what's 
rare, also, it's a panda 
bear. And the way it 
works is, there's a lever

16
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:59,800
inside the tail, and you go like 
this, and he says, "No," but 
the "yes" part is not working

17
00:01:02,433 --> 00:01:07,433
well. The lever has a, a little 
detachment under there that's 
an easy fix. When you pulled

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,700
it out of the bag, everybody 
at our table just went, "Ah!" 
(both laugh) It's nice, because

19
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:19,233
it's a larger size. 
He's 18 inches. He's 
in beautiful condition. 
He has no mohair loss,

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,833
because they're wool, and 
the moths often get to them. 
And he's, his color is really

21
00:01:26,966 --> 00:01:28,433
good. Now, what do 
you think it's worth?

22
00:01:28,433 --> 00:01:33,166
GUEST: I have no idea. As a 
kid, he was always a scary bear.

23
00:01:33,166 --> 00:01:35,200
APPRAISER: (laughs)

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,933
GUEST: And I wouldn't go near 
him. So, as an adult, probably 
the reason he's in such

25
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:43,933
good shape is because I keep 
him tucked away, because 
I still don't look at him.

26
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:45,900
APPRAISER: (laughs)

27
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,066
GUEST: So, value-wise, 
I have no clue.

28
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:52,866
APPRAISER: Okay. Well, 
the market has softened 
quite a bit on all teddy 
bears. But on today's

29
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:58,566
market, in a retail situation, 
it would probably sell 
between $900 and $1,200.

30
00:01:58,566 --> 00:01:59,566
GUEST: Really?

31
00:01:59,566 --> 00:02:00,566
APPRAISER: Really.

32
00:02:00,566 --> 00:02:01,600
GUEST: Oh, my gosh.

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,266
APPRAISER: (laughing)

34
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:05,200
GUEST: Well, maybe I 
should keep him out and 
look at him more often.
