Berryman Bear

Just In! The cartoon that gave the “Teddy bear” its name was illustrated by artist Clifford Berryman. Portraying a real-life historical incident in which Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a helpless bear cub on a hunting trip, the cartoon played a major role in starting the Teddy bear craze. The bear cub in the drawing had a unique “masked” face – mirroring a real toy bear that belonged to Berryman. Exclusively for North America, Steiff presents a bear inspired by Mr. Berryman’s recently discovered original toy bear. This Teddy’s “masked” face makes him a real rarity. Made of tipped alpaca, he is perhaps the most distinctive bear in our 2007 collection. Here’s your chance to own a piece of history. Add the Berryman Bear to your collection today!.
