I now have a much clearer vision of how my collection should look. I love all of my bears, but have simply run out of room and want to cut back a large percentage, so I can re-grow it with my current knowledge. So it’s time to call the auctioneers in, I can’t think of any safer hands to pass them onto than my teddy friend, Daniel Agnew of Special Auction Services, to send them all to their new homes. I think it would be great fun and I will enjoy seeing my beloved bears finding new owners.” “I first started collecting teddy bears because my daughter-in-law bought me a teddy bear and the Teddy Bear Encyclopaedia for a milestone birthday, which sparked an interest and I started looking at antique bears online.

  • For Immediate Release the WORLD's OLDEST TEDDY BEAR
    For Immediate Release 30 August 2006 Contact: Zoë Schoon 020.7752.3121 [email protected] THE WORLD’S OLDEST TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE TREATY AT CHRISTIE’S SOUTH KENSINGTON The Teddy Bear Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon South Kensington – Christie’s are pleased to present, by private treaty, the sale of the world’s oldest Teddy Bear Museum, based in Stratford-upon-Avon. The award-winning museum was opened by self- confessed teddy bear enthusiast and well known broadcaster Gyles Brandreth and his wife Michele, on 4th July 1988. Since then, this popular little museum has gone from strength to strength in one of England’s most celebrated towns. Stratford-upon-Avon attracts five million tourists annually and visitors to the Teddy Bear Museum have ranged from royalty to Tony Blair’s bear, Lynton, who recently spent his summer holidays at the Museum. The collection, personally put together by Brandreth, numbers a thousand bears and related items. It is to be sold as a going concern, along with the Tudor building (once the property of King Henry VIII) that has been its home for the last 18 years. “The Museum has come of age and it’s now time for us to find new owners for the museum and its unique collection. Our children are all grown-up and my work commitments mean that I simply don’t have the time to give it the care and attention it deserves. We want to find new owners for the Museum who will love it as much as we do and see it go from strength to strength.” Said Gyles Brandreth Highlights of the collection include several early Steiff bears, the earliest being Growler, a much- sought-after Steiff rod-bear, circa 1904.

  • Fifty Years After She First Hit Toy Shops, 'Sindy' Doll Seeks
    Strictly embargoed until 00.01hrs on Monday 2 July 2012 FIFTY YEARS AFTER SHE FIRST HIT TOY SHOPS, ‘SINDY’ DOLL SEEKS A LONG TERM PARTNER Global brand owners expected to show interest in iconic British doll Exeter, 2 July 2012 – After nearly 50 years, the British owner of the Sindy doll brand is looking for a long-term partner to help develop the core range of dolls. For generations of young girls Sindy has been a friend, confidante and cherished toy. The Sindy doll was launched in 1963, and for decades dominated the fashion doll market in Britain. Sindy has repeatedly been the best-selling toy, both in the UK and in overseas markets. Now, Sindy’s Exeter-based owner, Pedigree Toys, is to license or share equity in the iconic brand as part of a strategic shift towards its publishing and third party licensing businesses. Jerry Reynolds, CEO of Pedigree Group Ltd, commented: “Few brands have the emotive power and name recognition of Sindy. Millions of women in Britain grew up playing with her, and have fond memories of their days as ‘Sindy girls’. 1 “Over the years Sindy’s outfits have reflected changing fashions, and her hemlines rose and fell accordingly. But she has never lost her image as the demure girl next door – an enduring image that continues to appeal to young girls around the world. “The core of the Sindy brand remains the development and marketing of fashion dolls. As a business, Pedigree has moved away from toy manufacturing to focus on publishing and third party licensing.

  • For April 2021 – by Eileen Truby You Are Holding a Dinner Party for 5 Gues
    U3a Creative Writing Group – “Writing prompt” for April 2021 – by Eileen Truby You are holding a dinner party for 5 guests plus yourself. The guests will be well known people, not necessarily living, but who have contributed to society in some way. Write about why you chose them and describe briefly conversations they would have had with each other and set the menu for the dinner. The guests I would invite are: Ventriloquist Peter Brough and his ventriloquist’s dummy Archie Andrews Ventriloquist Keith Harris and his puppet Orville the Duck Annette Mills and her string puppet Muffin the Mule Harry Corbett (magician and puppeteer) and his glove puppet Sooty the yellow teddy bear. Charlie Drake - Comedian/singer/slapstick artist Host - Eileen Truby The menu would be plain and simple and preferably something that could be eaten one handed as most of my guests would be using one of their hands to manipulate their puppets. I’d choose: Tomato soup with croutons so the guests wouldn’t have to mess about with breaking and buttering rolls. Homemade fish and chips, preferably served in newspaper (easy to pick up with fork or fingers). Finger bowls will be needed for use before dessert. Jelly and custard for dessert (easy to eat with a spoon). Drinks would be beers, wine, soft drinks and tea/coffee. I’ve chosen these guests as they remind me of the innocence and carefree days of my childhood. My children look at me as if I’ve gone mad when I tell them I used to listen to a radio program that starred a ventriloquist dummy called Archie Andrews.

We were presented with this dilemma after One2believe, an evangelical toy company, sent us a selection from its new range of biblical dolls. According to the company’s own press material, its goal is to challenge the dominance of secular toys. With nothing more than double-joints and removable sandals, One2believe wants to rescue the young from the horrors of their toy box. Away with smutty Bratz and slutty Barbie and welcome to modest Mary. The company knows it is up against a ferocious marketing machine. To illustrate the point, the official website has a Thunderbirds-like video of the Samson and Goliath dolls hurling themselves at each other, gladiator style. The website urges shoppers to “join the battle” by downloading posters and handing them out at church. In real life, the tiny company has already experienced its Goliath moment. As of this week Amazon and the retailing giant Wal- Mart have sold out of all their talking Jesus dolls. But, I wondered, is getting the dolls under the Christmas tree only half the struggle? Will children whose aesthetic sense begins and ends with the size of plastic lips be swayed by more wholesome fare? Will they eschew bubble-gum pink polyester for tasteful sackcloth? My three older children, Helena, Theo and Halcyon, aged 5, 3, and 2 respectively, have never been short of dolls.

  • Some Key Toy Manufacturers
    45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:53 am Page 41 Some key toy manufacturers Britain Abbatt Toys Paul and Marjorie Abbatt were pioneers of innovative educational toys in the 1930s. They set up in business in 1932 selling toys to friends and by mail order from their flat in Tavistock Square, London. Demand was such that in 1936 they opened a child friendly shop at 94 Wimpole Street, designed by their friend the architect Ernö Goldfinger. The Abbatts were his main clients at the time and he designed toys and nursery equipment for them. They were concerned with the play needs of children in general, introducing a range of toys for children with physical disabilities devised by Milan Morgenstern. In 1951 they were instrumental in setting up the Children’s Play Activities Trust Ltd. to promote excellence in toy design and manufacture. After Paul Abbatt died in 1971 the business was bought by the Educational Supply Association. William Britain Ltd. Britains Ltd. was founded by William Britain in London in 1840. At first Britains made tin and clockwork toys and from the 1890s they made model soldiers. It also opened an office in Paris, France in 1905. The company made munitions for both world wars. In 1954 Herald miniatures, makers of unbreakable plastic toys, became a subsidiary of Britains. In 1966 Britains ceased to manufacture its metal soldiers. It was purchased by Ertl Co. in 1997. The Chad Valley Co. Ltd. The Chad Valley trademark was first registered in 1897 when the original company of Johnson Brothers added games to its stationery range.
