A&W Root Beer Bear
Reproduction Cel

This was an unusual "treasure" that I came across while helping my mom in the garage. My father worked for A&W back in the mid-80s and must've received this reproduction cel within that time. He doesn't remember anything about it but guesses that it might date to the late 70s.

All I know about this cel is: It is hand-painted and hand-inked, It is signed by the artist (Leo ?), and It is painted on very thick acetate. Though the cel has remained hidden in a box for at least 15 years, miraculously there are no signs of paint flaking or traceline fading. The acetate is a bit dirty, but the dust is not very noticable. The bottom right corner has been ripped off (when or how, I dunno) but otherwise this cel seems to be in good condition.

I have no idea as to what the worth of this item is, so right now it is not for sale or trade. If you have any idea as to when/what this repro is from or the value, please let me know.
