How to find this vintage teddy bear

17 replies

wishuponastar25 · 17/02/2022 16:13

I was given this teddy bear as a present when I was born in the 90s.
I'm hoping to find one that's identical or at least very similar.

Just posting to see if anyone has any ideas where I could look or how to find it?

Thank you!

It should have a label with the maker's name. They sometimes have the Teddy's name on the label, too.

FlibbertyGiblets · 17/02/2022 16:27

So can you put up a label photo?

I had a bear with similar ribbon. It was a forever friends bear.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks everyone, I'll look at forever friends bears.

Unfortunately it has no label at all!

Does the metal stud at the bottom of the ribbon have any marks

Unfortunately not, that's a pin that I added to it

Thank you so much for looking. I've looked and the colour is great but I really need it to have its arms up like mine does!

Could you give the one you've got a spruce up?
A quick wash in the machine and then a good brush would make it look near new, I think.

The reason I want another is that a family member has fallen in love with it and we both want it! Smile

I think I have one very similar that I got in 2001. It should have a label so I'll try and find it. It is possibly in the loft yeah I know Toy Story

BlanketsBanned · 17/02/2022 19:51

Are you sure the arms don't move, the build a bear I posted has one arm up and one down, you could msg the ebay seller
