This vintage 1960s Chad Valley teddy bear is a wonderful example of English bear-making tradition. Made from dark brown alpaca hair, he has a distinctive look with plenty of character. He retains his Chad Valley fabric tag, confirming his authenticity.
At 35cm tall standing (22cm sitting), he is a medium-sized bear with a charming presence. He remains in good overall condition for his age, though the alpaca hair is sparse in some areas - a common feature for bears of this era.
