This teddy bear was named Monday's Bear and belonged to Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. Monday's Bear has a swivel head and jointed limbs. It has a Steiff button / label in its left ear and another label attached to its left front leg. Its fur is made of a blonde, long-fibre fabric. A red ribbon and rosebud have been sewn onto the top of this bear's head. A mirror is attached to its left front leg and a brush to its right front leg.
HMCMS:D2008.3.76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 and 82 make up the Days of the Week Collection of Steiff bears, based on the nursery rhyme "Monday's child is fair of face" (etc.). This group of seven bears comes with a framed Certificate of Authenticity, printed with the "Monday's child" rhyme and Mr Simpson's name.
