z(1936) Monty. Josie Rockett Mohair MustardShowcased by Josie Rockett Monty is a very lovely and unusual Dean's art silk bear made between 1936 1938. He is very interesting as he doesn't quite fit a catalogued model, he does resemble the silkeen bears made at the time but he also has features of the mohair bears produced in 1938, this makes me think he is a transitional bear, very exciting! He has golden art silk fur, is filled with kapok and measures 17 inches long. When he came to live with
