Okay back when I was younger I remember going to a garage sale and buying a stuffed beaver. I remember it was kind of old and was stuffed with something weird. The tag said it was filled with crushed up nut shells which was really weird. I can't seem to find it anywhere and I think either my parents got rid of it or gave it to my cousins. I also seem to remember the tag saying Dakin on it and I know that as being a toy company but I don't know of the year or anything and I don't have any pictures of him either. So can anyone help me out?

I tried that website that invader had posted but it said that the item was no longer there. I'm guessing that someone had already bought it. Now where is this beaver I do remember having someone write my name on his tag as well so if my aunt does find him he might come back to be with me I loved him so much.
