These are really cute! They kind of remind me of a Steiff... the growler is such an adorable feature! I had no idea they had been making bears that long! Wow! Great History lesson!💖
The Steiff Bears pre-date the Merrythought ones by a long time (50 years)! When World War I broke out, the U.K. stopped importing bears from Germany and bears started being made in Britain.

I love the history behind these classic bears. And they have that authentic, original look of Pooh bear.
We do too!
These must have cost you a fortune. I am in the UK and saving up for the bears themed on the Queen and her late husband.
