Miletto - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

Miletto - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named Miletto and belonged to Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. Miletto is made of a greyish-brown mohair fabric and has a swivel head. His legs are jointed and he has long front legs. He wears a lilac neck ribbon with a gilt medallion. On the front of this medallion there is a standing bear logo and '2006'. The reverse of the medallion says 'Made exclusively for Danbury Mint by Steiff, 2006'. Miletto also has a button and a label in his left ear and other labels attached to his left back foot. 

Mr Simpson purchased Miletto in 2006.
