Uncle Sam Bear - A Patriotic Bear To The Core!

“Uncle Sam Bear”, 28” Doll - Americana and 4Th of July Series

Uncle Sam bear just loves parades and wanted to march so much in the 4Th of July parade that he decided to create a patriotic Uncle Sam outfit for himself. That way he'd fit right into the parade crowd and no one would notice that he was a bear. Or would they?


Uncle Sam Bear is a 28" free standing wood and shaggy felt bear with black bead eyes, embroidered and two-toned blushed face and wood covered with shaggy felt feet. His wood body and shaggy felt body were created based upon a Mulberry Street Design pattern. His patriotic clothing and hat was designed by Linda Walsh Originals.



Uncle Sam Bear's patriotic pants are cuffed and the tops of his feet are decorated with patriotic bows. His short is white and gathered at the neck and decorated with a patriotic bow tie. His vest is lined and is held closed with buttons. His jacket with multi-coordinated patriotic fabric is lined and has fold back lapels. His stove top hat with multi-coordinated patriotic fabric is lined and sits regally upon his head with his ears sticking through the top band. He is carrying a group of patriotic silk floral.

There is no doubt the Uncle Sam Bear is a patriotic bear to the core.
