Milton - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

Milton - William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named Milton and belonged to Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. Milton has a Steiff button / label in his left ear. He is made out of a pale honey-coloured mohair fabric. He wears a gold neck ribbon with a gold plated medallion. On the front of the medallion there is a bear head and the word 'Millennium'. The other side of the medallion bears the word 'Millennium' and the year '2000'. Milton also wears homemade red woollen dungarees. 

Mr Simpson purchased Milton in 1999. He is a Steiff Millennium Bear, manufactured in order to commemorate the new millennium. Milton has a certificate of authentication.
