A Vintage Rupert Bear Plush Soft Toy Attributed to Burbank Toys

This vintage soft toy represents the classic British character Rupert Bear, a figure originally created for the Daily Express in 1920. Based on market consensus and visual comparison with documented examples, this item is attributed to Burbank Toys, likely dating from the 1970s. The toy is constructed from white plush fabric, possibly a mohair or wool blend, with contrasting yellow fabric used for the inner ears and the soles of the feet. The character features orange and black eyes and a black stitched nose and mouth. It is dressed in its signature complete outfit, consisting of a red and yellow tartan fabric jacket with two orange plastic buttons, a red fabric neckerchief, and grey and black pinstripe fabric trousers. This is a static soft toy with no internal mechanism. No manufacturer labels, tags, or markings are present on the item or the clothing. A one pound coin is shown in the images for scale purposes.
