Collectible teddy bears are all very unique and different. You can find plush teddy bears and also figurines of teddy bears that are all worth starting a collection with. They are made from different manufacturers, different eras and different materials.
The original teddy bear dates back to 1902. President Roosevelt was on a hunting trip and refused to shoot a bear that looked tired and tired to a tree. After that made the news, a shopkeeper and his wife started making plush teddy bears that had button eyes. Since then, teddy bears have been in production in growing numbers.
Some companies choose to customize their bears to make them stand out in the crowd. Other companies follow traditional design when they make their teddy bears.
You may have heard of some of the most common makers of the early teddy bears such as Steiff bears. These are one of the most commonly collected teddy bear that is on the market. Collectors who are able to find some of the earliest Steiff bears have a truly valuable collection.
If you are able to find antique Steiff bears that are in their original state and have all of the accessories or clothing that they were originally made with they can be worth a lot of money. However, money is not the only motivation for true collectors.
They are after the emotion and character that goes into each one of the collectible teddy bears.
