Wanted: "Boumi," Style 2629, a stuffed animal made by Gund and last sold by
FAO Schwartz around Christmas 1991; discontinued by Gund in 1992.

It looks like a cross between a monkey and a bear, with the body, arms, 
forepaws, and legs of a teddy bear (no tail) and the hindpaws, head, and face
of a monkey -- two little ears on the sides of its head, lighter-colored 
facial fur (like Curious George), little beady black eyes close together, 
and monkey-type muzzle.  It's 13" high, sitting position, light golden brown
in color with lighter beige face, paws, and ears, and (MOST IMPORTANT!)
	*** A TINY TUFT OF WHITE FUR JUST ABOVE ITS FOREHEAD.***

It came with a little camouflage scarf tied around its neck.  (This is not 
to be confused with a similar Tarzan monkey-bear which came with a Tarzan 
tunic/toga and had a fringe of fur like a mane all around its entire face.)

Doesn't have to be in mint condition, or have the tags, or have the scarf;
just be clean and reasonably presentable.  A little squishy from use is fine
(as long as the tuft of white hair is in GOOD condition!!!)

Any help finding this bear would be appreciated.  Please contact pam@btr.com
or (415) 259-7705, or Pamela Pon, PO Box 910, Millbrae, CA 94030.

Thank you!
