Dean's Childplay Toys 1965-1972 Vintage Bear

Dean's Childplay Toys Vintage Bear (1965–1972)

This charming vintage teddy bear was lovingly produced by Deans Childplay Toys between 1965 and 1972 and is a wonderful example of the traditional British teddy bears that made the company so beloved by collectors. Standing an impressive 21.5 inches (55 cm) tall, he has a warm and endearing character that instantly captures the heart.

Made from beautiful pale golden mohair, this handsome bear has a classic flat-back design and is fully jointed, allowing him to be gently posed in a variety of positions. His bright, expressive eyes, cute rounded ears and carefully hand-stitched black nose and mouth give him the timeless appeal of a traditional teddy bear, while his contrasting brown nylon fabric paw pads, add to his vintage charm.

He retains his official tag stitched to his side and original growler, although it is no longer in working order, which is not uncommon for bears of this age and only adds to his authentic vintage character. With his soft golden colouring and sweet expression, this Dean's Childplay bear is a wonderful collector's piece that beautifully represents the craftsmanship and quality of mid-20th century British teddy bear making.

Whether displayed as part of a vintage teddy bear collection or treasured as a nostalgic keepsake, this delightful bear is sure to bring warmth and character to any home.
