z(1920). Petal. Farnell. Showcased by Josie Rockett Aetna 1930 is the only yearThis lovely girl is Petal. She is a rare faded pink Farnell bear dating to the early 1920s, possibly a little earlier. Originally she would have been a wonderful bright pink, but this is only noticeable around her joints. She still has a lovely pinkish hue, I have included a photo of her with Benny, a tiny white 1940s Farnell bear to try and show her colour more clearly. She has glass eyes with painted backs, tan nose mouth and claw stitching and
