Teeny Weeny- William Simpson Teddy Bear Collection

This teddy bear was named ‘Teeny Weeny’ by Mr William Simpson. Mr Simpson was an avid collector of more than 250 teddy bears. This teddy has a swivel head and limbs with remains of blue neck ribbon. The bear has been given a homemade green satin sash with name embroidered in black.

Mr Simpson bought this bear in 1963 as a part of a group. The bears were made in the former Czechoslovakia. According to Mr Simpson the bears name Teeny Weeny was an Anglicisation of the bears Czech name.
