"Hiram the traveling bear"

This little guy has been with me about three years.  The tractor seat mounted on a Meyers working head was intended to give children rides.  Reconsidering, because of insurance issues, I decided to mount something else on the seat.  Observing several other people's ideas I just kept my eyes open for something I could do to make "monkey motion" with the Meyers. 

One day while walking through a flea market I spotted this bear wearing a top hat and tuxedo.  I immediately said, "I've got to have him."  Originally he had a bell in his hand but I had a small wooden gavel and said, "I'm going to make him a Master Mason" and renamed him Hiram.
