I cannot imagine why they would have ever been reproduced. Not a very big demand for them except for us Parker gun guys i would think.

They are around 3" tall.

There is one on Ebay now. But it is in poor condition having been repainted completely white at one time.

Brian,It was 3" and in nice condition the reason I ask about the Bear being a reproductions is because there's so much is being reproduced today.Thanks everyone for your advice. J.J.

The Parker Vise advertisement, about two inches long is pretty neat also! Gary
