SOLD (1904) Strunz B Wilder hecla slight general thinningThis is B. Wilder, the only thing I know about him is that he belonged to my Great Uncle. His name was Foster B Snowden. Uncle Foster was born in 1892 in Pennsylvania . He told us that his father went to Germany and bought him back and gave it to him for his 5th birthday. We know that would make it 1897 and bears were not invented yet, unless he was made before the first documented bear. Wouldnt that be great? Most likely though, my uncle was older
