Little Bear "Dogleg Scrap"

Bubinga w/ Aqua Glass

Looks like they were cleaning up the shop after making the Dogleg Grizzlys and made this baby!

I don't know why but I really like the Little Bears probably because each one is somewhat unique.

I put 1964/1965 because the Little Bears didn't show up in the Catalogs until 1965 but this one has a serial number that would normally indicate 1964. I have seen one or two others with similiar serial numbers including the one in the 1965 Catalog.

I seen a gray glass brazilian rosewood riser with black painted pewter coin aka would have had to have been from around 1962-ish at a yard sale.I gave the guy 100 bucks for it many years ago.While I was talking with Al Reader one day on the phone.I told him about the little bear with the rosewood riser and pewter coin I had.He offerd me 250 no questions asked.....I shipped it out the next day and ai'nt seen it since.That was one little gem I wish I would have held on to bd

Nick, someday when I'm getting ready for that dirt nap I will have Sue send it to you.
