Antique Teddy Bears
Offered here are antique teddy bears from the early 1900's through 1940's. All old bears have been left in pretty much as found condition, except for thoroughly cleaning and debugging each one. I love each and every one as they are, imperfections and all. All of their imperfections will be clearly noted and many pictures are available. Of course, all questions are encouraged. Since I feel bears should be seen and touched and held and talked to, your satisfaction is guaranteed, no questions asked. All props are for display only and are not included in the sale of the teddy bear.

"Tibbons" Antique German Petz Teddy Bear
This is Tibbons, an antique German Petz teddy bear. He stands 15" tall and has the cutest little smile. I would date him to the 1920's.

His arms are curved in, he has three claws on paws and feet, and all pads have been replaced. He's firmly stuffed with excelsior and has a non working squeaker in his tummy. A sweet little guy.

'Abominable' Vintage White Wool Teddy Bear
I call this character 'Abominable' because he reminds me of the abominable snowman, a cutesie one of course. He's so different than any bear I've had. His fur is very long and fuzzy, seems like a wool type mohair. Love his big huge feet with plush covering and cardboard inserts, and his paws are felt, front and back. He has a plush muzzle, plastic nose and eyes and embroidery mouth. He stands 15" tall and I would guess he dates to the 1940's.

'Mr. Petelhoffer' Antique French Teddy Bear
'Mr. Petelhoffer' is a fantastic French antique teddy bear, dating to the 1930's. He has gorgeous gold mohair with very little mohair loss, basically just a little thinning here and there. He's a full, stocky 22" bear filled with excelsior. His paw pads are all original with no holes, however, thinning down to the linen. I can't quite figure out the paw pad material...it's like between felt and suede, a reddish brown color. He has clear glass eyes and black floss stitching on his nose and cute little mouth, also claw stitching. Mr. Petelhoffer likes to play outside...he has soiling on his feet and the sun worshipper he is has faded his beautiful gold mohair. He's quite the grand looking boy.

'Pickles' Antique German Teddy Bear
Meet 'Pickles', an antique German teddy bear, a 20" bear, probably dating to the 1920's. He has super large ears, set in, and a great little expression. He has medium length mohair, golden color with good coverage. He has glass eyes and nicely embroidered mouth and nose, although probably replaced. His paw pads have been replaced, but his foot pads are original felt. His mohair has a couple of bare spots, but I consider it very good coverage, although his head is very faded. 3 claws on his feet, looks like he also had 3 on his original paws, now covered up . A very special guy.

Look at the charming face of Pumpkin, so typical of Ideal teddy bears and why they're so endearing to collectors. Pumpkin is a circa 1920 bear, standing 17" tall.

His paw pads are original felt, thinning to the felt and one paw pad has several holes. He's firmly stuffed with excelsior. His bow tie is not original, but has been with him ever since I've had him and will accompany him to his new home. A real treasure!

1. 'Daisy' Antique German Petz Teddy Bear
"Daisy" is a sweet little girl who will talk to you all the time with her working growler. German in origin, circa 1920's or 30's. She has super soft mohair with pretty good coverage and stands 15" tall. She has the sweetest expression with small glass eyes, horizontal stitched nose and a small quirky mouth. Nicely sculpted nose and cute ears round out her face. She has curved in arms and small feet, a small hump as well. Her pads have been recovered with felt and she originally had 3 claws on each, one paw only has one claw now. Her mohair coverage I'd estimate at 82%, with loss on both arms and thinning on her face.

10. 'Antique Teddy Bear on Wheels Pull Toy
I love bears with smiling faces and Betsey is so sweet with her boot button eyes and smiling expression. She's a small wheeled pull toy, measures 9" long and 6" tall. She has golden colored mohair and rides along on gold metal wheels. She has patchy mohair loss and fading and her tail is literally hanging on by a thread. A couple of small stitching repairs on her back and under her chin. The wheels are in good rolling condition, but it's quite worn where her feet are attached, making her a tad lopsided. One paw has a large hole where you can see some metal, I'm thinking maybe the wheel bar went through there, not sure. She's firmly stuffed with excelsior and such a sweet little treasure.

11. 'Oscar' Antique American Teddy Bear
Meet "Oscar", an American boy probably dating to the teens, maybe 20's. He has such a big head for his body. That must be why someone long ago stitched his head down, must have had trouble with his head joint. That's okay...his big button eyes can see everywhere. These were probably replaced as well. He must have been well loved in his life as I think his pads have also been replaced. Very old replacement with linen, all matching. He's a 23" bear with short golden mohair. Lots of his mohair is missing, especially on his back. He's stuffed with excelsior throughout. Settling to the excelsior on the tops of his legs & one arm. Don't let his stern look fool you, he's super friendly.

His little ears are so cute the way they're a little offset into his head. His charming face was created with black floss nose and smile and boot button eyes, eyes are quite possibly replaced, but correct for his age. He has original felt pads, holes in 3, black floss claws and excelsior stuffed. His head is a little wobbly, but it makes for a nice tilt.

13. 'Corky' Early Merrithought Antique Teddy Bear
"Corky" is such a fine old chap. English in origin, he is an early Merrythought bear dating to the 1930's. Although Merrythought dates back to the late 1800's, they didn't start making their bears until 1930. Corky is one of their early bears, still with original early label on his foot. Wonderful smiley face with glass eyes and embroidery nose and mouth and big ears. He still retains his original felt paw pads, although big holes, darned and sub stuffing showing through.

This is Goober. Goober is most surely a German Petz, made in the 1930's. He has such beautiful long tipped mohair, darker tipped on the ends.

His cute expression is black floss with glass eyes and he is fully jointed. His pads are all original felt, with thinning or holes in all four. His mohair is in very good condition with just a little thinning around his forehead and one large and one small spot on his tummy. Otherwise, mohair is very full.

15. 'Winnie the Pooh' Vintage Teddy Bear
Could any teddy bear collection be complete without a Pooh bear? I'm thinking not. This Pooh bear dates to 1964, the first year that Pooh bear was licensed to Disney, licensed to J. Swedlin and made by Gund. Still has his original tag. He's a 22" bear, made of gold plush. His adorable face has metal button eyes, pom pom nose and felt mouth. He still has his original Winnie the Pooh sweater. He has one hole on his neck, a smaller one on his leg, a little matting to the fur and a little fading. Sweater still retains its 2 shoulder snaps, a hole on the seam. A great vintage Pooh.

16. 'Cat' Antique American Teddy Bear
Cat sometimes forgets she's a teddy bear. She likes to hang out with Calvin the cat, hence, her name. This sweet little girl has the quirkiest little smile, made up by her twill fabric nose, embroidered mouth and upturned nose (although she's certainly not snooty!). She is probably an American bear, I'm thinking 1920's, but maybe earlier. She stands 17" tall and has short golden mohair. She has patches of mohair loss, mostly on the tops of her legs, back of her head and body. Her felt paw pads have been recovered some time ago and she has no claws.

Meet Dottie, AKA Tinker, an adorable German Petz teddy bear, I would guess from the 1920's. She stands 16" tall, fully jointed, and has light tan mohair. Her adorable smiling face has glass eyes and embroidery mouth and nose and I love her set in ears. My favorite thing about her is she talks super well. You don't even need to tip her over, just move her around and her growler talks away to you. She has felt covered pads, her feet are original and her paw pads are replaced, 3 claw stitches on all four. Her head and arms have the best mohair coverage.
