Lot 309: A Collection of Contemporary Plush Teddy Bears, Various Makers

A collection of approximately six to seven contemporary plush teddy bears, primarily in shades of brown and white. The bears are dressed in various textile outfits, including a denim jacket with pink trim, a red and green plaid shirt worn by a bear with circular glasses, a blue vest with a burgundy bow tie, and a gray scarf. One medium brown bear wears a white t-shirt prominently displaying the logo “JDRF” with the accompanying text “Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Dedicated to finding a cure.” Several bears appear to retain original retail tags on their limbs. The bear with circular glasses and a plaid shirt is consistent with descriptions of a ‘Vintage PMS Teddy Bear In Tartan wearing Glasses & Hat’ found in web intelligence. Other bears in the collection may include examples by makers such as Belkie Bear, Charter Club, Dakin, and Commonwealth Toy Company, based on visual matches from web research.
