Bear

  

The Bear was introduced in 1967 with the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp, and some time in the early to mid-1970s the "U.S.A." mold stamp was added. It was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #306.

A symbol means that I don't yet have a picture of that model. If you can help, please see the Help Wanted section. Clicking on any photo below will open a larger version of that picture.
