buy This vintage Robert Raikes collectible bear is Jessica, #52505 from 1992. She's brown with a carved wooden face and wears a red sailor dress. She has a red bow on top of her head and wears white panties.
Jessica's legs are poseable so she can sit or stand. She still has her original tag attached to her hand. The tag is marked "A Robert Raikes Original."
The inside of the tag reads:
"An artist and sculptor for seventeen years, Robert Raikes creates dolls and animals known for their elegance and their special touch of fantasy. Raikes Originals came to life seven years ago at the artist's studio in the majestic Mt. Shasta area of Northern California and are the result of his continued interest in the great outdoors. Working from his feelings, then from a visualization of the finished work, Mr. Raikes creates a piece that is individually carved and beautifully fitted together. His painstaking technique results in a sculpture of stunning quality and warmth. Applause is proud to be associated with Robert Raikes and the distinguished work he creates. Be assured that you have chosen a premier piece in the art of fine wood sculpture. Each Robert Raikes limited edition collector original is individually signed and numbered."
The bottom of one foot is marked "Robert Raikes, ANN, 882/7500."
Jessica is in good condition.
