In 1904, Colonel Bob Henderson was given his first Bear, a Steiff Cinnamon Teddy. He named her Teddy Girl and over time as she accompanied Bob through his life and career, she became quite a revered Bear. So much so, that in 1994 she sold for £110,000 at auction (the highest price then paid for a Teddy Bear).
In 1905 after the production of their Cinnamon 1904 Bear, they created a Blonde Bear of similar design. Today he is known as Teddy Boy in honour of Teddy Girl and her place in Teddy Bear History.
This 1905 Replica is from 1998 and is quite a rare piece to acquire. He is 50cm tall, fully jointed and has been sewn, from a luxurious, tufty and dense, blonde mohair with warm, wool felt paws and wood shavings. He has glossy, black glass eyes with a nutbrown hand stitched nose and mouth for a gentle appeal, whilst a surprise double squeaker will calm your worries. This beautiful Bear would sit fabulously with the 1997 Teddy Girl Replica … finally united.
Teddy Boy is a Worldwide Limited Edition of only 6,000 Bears and will come to you boxed, with his numbered certificate of authenticity.
