Handmade Hand Crafted Felt Christmas Stocking SKI BEAR "Brian"- JCA New 16 x 9

Description

Up for auction a charming hand crafted  fun felt Vintage Christmas Stocking.  It features an adorable bear skiing down a hill. At the end of his skies there is even a little mouse riding along.  It is just adorable!
At the top it reads "Brian".  This name is just stitched on to the stocking and can be easily removed.  You can add another name in stitching or add a name with a glitter glue pen.
The stocking is 16" x 9 1/2".  The back of the stocking is finished with green felt.
This is from the JCA Needle Treasures Collection. I have not found this particular kit anywhere on the internet and since the company is no longer making kits, finding this in the future is pretty slim.
This  was a hand crafted model to a  kit which would have been on display in a store to show the prospective buyers how the item will look when finished. It has a label indicating it was done in the Azores.
I learned recently that the name on many of these finished pieces identified the company as JCA Inc. with an address in Massachusettes. They evidently ceased operations and will not be making/distributing anymore needlecraft kits. These finished piece from kits are already hard to find and will only be offered occasionally perhaps on the internet. Per the JCA website:
"Due to the death of our owner, Alan S. Getz, JCA, Inc. has ceased operations indefinitely.
We would like to thank our loyal customers who have supported JCA for over 50 years.
JCA manufactures premium needlecraft products and distributes fine knitting yarns. We are an amalgamation of three companies-Paternayan Brothers (started in 1939), Elsa Williams (started in 1960) and Reynolds Yarns (also started in 1960)."
