Mama Bearinger Ornament from The Bearingers of Victoria Circle
Hallmark Cards, Inc.
This vintage Hallmark Keepsake Ornament is Mama Bearinger, she's from the 1993 "The Bearingers of Victoria Circle" collection. She's a sweet tan colored bear in a fancy dress and apron and is leaning over with a pan of freshly baked Christmas-tree-shaped sugar cookies. The cookies are dusted with real glitter, so they sparkle.
The Bearingers of Victoria Circle collection included a set of four ornaments - Mama Bearinger, Papa Bearinger, and their two children, son Abearnathy Bearinger and daughter Bearnadette Bearinger. There was a lighted tabletop display shaped like a fireplace with raised shapes on it and each ornament had a cutout on the bottom so it could stand on the display without tipping over.
Mama Bearinger has a triangle indentation on the base, as shown in the last photo. She also has a hook on the back of her head if you'd prefer to hang her as an ornament. She stands up well on her own, so she can be displayed on a shelf without the base.
Mama Bearinger shows a little wear and a few paint rubs but is in good vintage condition.
The bottom of the ornament is marked "1993 Hallmark Cards, Inc."
