Staff in a Bristol airport are trying to find the owner of a teddy bear which was left in a bag over 14 months ago. The antique bear, found in the departure lounge, is believed to belong to two children who are in a photo which was found with the bear.
The black and white photo of two little girls with a bear, which the staff believe is the bear they have found, has a message written on the back:”With dearest love and kisses to our darling Daddie from your loving little daughters Dora and Glyn.” The photo is dated March 1918.
Staff at the airport tried to match the names against passengers who had departed from the airport but have had no luck. However, they are still trying to find the owner, according to the Telegraph.
Jacqui Mills, an airport spokesperson who has kept the bear on her desk, said: “He’s well-loved, that is for sure. He looks a bit battered but I think that’s because he has been given so many cuddles over the years.”
The postcard photograph has a second message which says “taken on Baby’s birthday March 4th 1918, one year and five-months-old.”
We could definitely offer this guy a good home…
