Hobson - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

Hobson - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named Hobson and belonged to Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. Hobson is made out of a ginger fabric and has long arms. He wears home-made red velvet trousers and a gold ribbon around his neck. A Certificate of Authenticity and other labels are attached to him. 

Mr Simpson obtained this bear in 1999. Hobson was Membership Bear No. 456 of the Dean's Collectors' Club. Mr Simpson explains that a different bear was given to members of this club every year. 

Dean's is a British toy company.
