Perky- William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

Perky- William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named ‘Perky’ by Mr William Simpson, an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. This teddy has ears lined in pink fabric, and the chest and top of head in a pale fabric colour. This teddy bear has a homemade green ribbon sash with 'Chinky' embroidered in black, label sewn at the neck.

Mr Simpson recalled how this was a gift to him in 1982. This teddy bear took its name from the television show Pinky and Perky.
