They purchased me three brown teddy bears. I am not sure the brand but they had little peach mouths that you could open and close….. I fear after all these years he has gone missing….. I know that a replacement would not be the same but i feel that it could be a start. I would love to purchase another.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for writing to me.  I have found a teddy that I hope is very close to yours.  He
is golden and very soft (loves to be hugged and not afraid to fly)
He is 8 inches sitting and has a little pink tongue. I’m sure this is not the same bear,
but he would be a very good friend.  His price is $11.95 + shipping.  If this sounds
good, let us know and  we will work out the details so he can come to your house.

Thanks, Ralph ]]> http://blog.estesark.com/i-came-to-your-store-when-i-was-in-the-second-grade-with-my-parents-i-just-celebrated-my-30th-birthday-they-purchased-me-three-brown-teddy-bears-i-am-not-sure-the-brand-but-they-had-little-peach-2/feed/ Hi Abe, I would like to purchase a gumball machine that looks like a monkey.

about my favorite place in IL … I went to the Sock Monkey Museum in Rockford.  It was
great, I visited many other Sock Monkeys and learned a lot about my relatives.  I’m
sending you a picture of when I was visiting.

Hi Sally,  Sock Monkeys are NOT all the same, just like humans are not all the same. We come from different socks and backrounds.
