I would definitely say Dora is the girl, so older than Glyn. :-)

I'm really baffled by the wording on the back of the photo, it just doesn't make sense, ' With dearest love 9 x's to OUR darling daddie from your loving little daughter 7 Sonnie'Signed Dora & Glyn

Okay, I take 9 x's to mean 9 kisses...strange number!  It states, to OUR darling Daddie, implying two children are sending this.  It then goes on to say it's from YOUR loving little daughter, implying one daughter is sending it.  And what's '7 Sonnie?'  Is that really Sonnie?  It's then signed, Dora & Glyn.  I had thought that Glyn was a male name unless it's short for Glynis

I don't know if this has been mentioned but the bears aren't the same.The ears are different & one has a mouth while the other doesn't.
They could be props as with young children who tend to fidget it's a common trick to give them something to hold to keep them still.Any movement would cause blurring.

Suspect the bear might be a Steiff ... elongated feet, long arms and "pointy" nose, ... and I've just noticed one, online, in similar condition ... valuation; $4,312.50 

The repairs to the feet will probably have reduced the value, though (see, I watch Antiques Roadshow, too!  ).

( 9 & 7 - I think they are a form of & - not numbers.

Jane,

Nine kisses, that would be three kisses from each of them.

I started to make a list of all Doras bn 1913-1915 (thus age 3-5 in photo) born in Wales - with a view to then looking for Glyns with the same surname and mothers maiden name, bn 1917 ish ....

BUT it is going to be an impossible task, as I have only done surnames beginnig "A" and half of "B" and already have a list of 13 - so if I work through to "z" it will be mammoth.
And then there is the possibility she was Theodora or Dorothy or something .....

So I'm not sure we will find who Dora and Glyn were ..........
