Teddy eyes and voice boxes

 

This teddy arrived with the huge bisque headed doll for a bit of sprucing up.

He is made of mohair and is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool).







He has plastic eyes that are replacements.

He almost certainly had glass eyes originally.







His torso shows hints of a voice box but he is silent.








Once I open him up, I find he once had a voice box but it has been removed and the cavity has beed stuffed with shredded foam.

This foam should be removed as foam does nasty things as it ages.






Now he has an empty spot.

That empty spot can be filled with wood wool and he can stay silent or he can get a replacement voice box.

He is petite Teddy and will need a petite voice box.





This vintage squeaker will fit.















Ready to go home.
