They are loved by infants and toddlers. You can’t take them away from teenagers. They even find their way to the luggage of older kids going away to college. Teddy bears are some of the most loved collectibles in the animal world. It has been so since the time Morris Michtom made the first official toy bear which he called teddy bear with then President Roosevelt’s permission, of course.

Toy makers never run out of ideas on how the teddy bear should look and feel. They make bears that range from the hand sewn to bigger than life in size. They make them in cushy materials that are irresistibly huggable. But there is nothing like collectible teddy bears. They may be antique bears that never fail to please collectors. They may also be new born teddy bears made of antique materials. It is never too late to start a teddy bear collection. Get your first unique bear now and your future grandchildren will love you for it.
