The eBay seller posted this photo of a traumatized stuffed bear cub (sold at Yellowstone in the 60s).
And someone bought it...
Me. I bought this squashed & torn toy, with its wood-shaving stuffing coming out. Despite damage, it held up to being repaired, instead of disintegrating.
(One word. Plastics.)

Yellowstone AFTER:
The weight of the cub's plastic nose caused it to fall forward (since I replaced its wood innards with polyester fluff).
To weigh it down, I gave it metallic back paw-pads.
Now it's prancing.
