    James Beard - 1988 VIB from North American Bear Co.-- "The Dean of Ursine"
    This master chef, the Dean of Cuisine (or Ursine) can whip up anything from asBEARagus to BEARbeque.  He sports the classic chef inspired attire complete with his own miniature whisk.
    A perfect addition for your kitchen or a gift for your favorite chef.
    From the VIB / Very Important Bear series created by the North American Bear Company established in 1979.
    James Beard was introduced in Spring 1988 and retired in Fall 1989.  Style #3041 - Complete with original name tag.
    Interesting detail ... All of the VIB's had "bear" puns in their names - James Beard was the only character that did not need a pun added to his namesake, the "bear" was already in just the right place !
    I owned my own store and was an authorized NABco dealer from 1984-2015
    This collectible VIB is from my private collection
    The bear is in like new condition with some normal aging.
