I am looking to acquire a very specific stuffed bear. I originally found it at an antique store (Uptown Emporium) in Berlin, Maryland while with my friend. The bear became a running joke so I want to get it for him as a gift, but I cannot find it anywhere. I called the antique store and was told that the bear was sold to a man. I was also told that the bear was made by Annette Funicello, which after some internet digging appears to be a discontinued collectible brand. However, none of the bears look like this one in particular. I am attaching a photo that I took of the bear with the background cropped out in case anyone recognizes it. Please let me know if you figure out anything about this bear - what it's called, who made it, or where I can buy it. It would be the funniest gift for my friend and he would love to hear about the man hunt to find it. Thank you very much for your assistance.
i was sorting through some of my old stuff and i cam across this imoto A8 michael jackson limited edition phone so i looked it up on google to see if there was anything interesting about it but all i could find is that it is 1 of 100 made. If anyone has any knowledge or information please get in contact with me as i am keen to find out more!
Google has failed me. Maybe I can get some insight or get pointed in a good direction here?
I'm trying to determine the history behind a very worn House of Harter leather football helmet. It's a model/item 1195, size 6 7/8. No chin strap. It has the look of a University of Michigan winged helmet with 3 stripes running from front to back. Google hasn't been helpful other than showing me a couple of sites that are trying to sell this same style/type of helmet for around $2,000 (in much better condition). They list it as a U of Notre Dame helmet but from my Googling, it doesn't look like any Notre Dame leather helmets I could see.
Any thoughts/insights into this helmet in general (high school practice, actual college, etc.)?

Hi- My mother mentioned once she would love a nurse Hummel. However, the one I see several times on eBay that I think she would like is labeled BYJ30 and Goebel on the bottom. I see that Goebel made items based on Hummel designs, and many of these BYJ30 items have Hummel in the title but can someone explain is this really considered a Hummel?
