Dylan (Spring) - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named Dylan (Spring) and belonged to Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. Dylan has a swivel head and jointed limbs. He has a Steiff ear button / label as well as a card label attached to his left back leg. He wears a light green neck ribbon and a bunch of spring flowers is sewn onto his right front leg. A yellow chick is sewn onto the front of Dylan's left back leg. This little chick has its own Steiff label.
