According to the expert, the bear, dressed in a homemade military uniform, with a saber and gun, had to "soften the bitterness of parting. " The story of a bear known as Captain Bruyni, described on a postcard written by the owner. It says "Bruyni arrived in Birmingham for Christmas in 1908. In 1915 he was transferred to the border of Salisbury-Plein and he joined the army. Using some very dubious maneuvers, he quickly made a general. They were made of tin cans from under gold syrup. .
Daniel Agnya, a specialist in Special Auction Services, which sells this rare lot, said such gifts for children or loved ones are "quite common". But he notes that Captain Bruyni's bear is unique because he retained her outfit. Usually after the war he was cleaned as a bad memory. The name of the bear owner is unknown, he did not sign on the postcard with the story of the bear. But there are clues, said Agny.
"We know where they lived, and we have a prompt on the name of the father - probably Bulrite or Bulrite," since he signed the driver's license, "the auctioneer said. The bear was sold in the Bermondy market in London in the 1970s, and it belonged to one of the first bears collectors in the United Kingdom, which gradually sold its collection. The bear will leave the hammer on November 26 at the auction of Special Auction Services in Newber, Berkshire. Its cost is expected to be up to £ 1,200.
