Meet a timeless companion from the early '90s—this Boyds Archive Series bear captures the soul of a century-old antique with the whimsy of a modern-day treasure.
Step back into the heritage of teddy bear making with this charming selection from The Boyds Collection Archive Series. Produced in the early 1990s, this bear was specifically designed to evoke the nostalgia of early 20th-century "Teddy's Bears."
Featuring a rich, cocoa-brown plush coat and a classic crimson ribbon, this fellow is fully jointed, allowing him to sit patiently on a mantle or pose in a vintage rocking chair. With his hand-embroidered features and original "Investment Collectible" tag, he is a must-have for any serious arctophile or lover of "Modern Heritage" decor.
"Investment Collectible" from The Archive Series, manufactured between 1990–1994. The blue tush tag and the brown "Archive Collection" hang tag confirm its early 90s vintage.
Provenance: Handmade in China for the Gettysburg, PA-based company. These bears were designed to mimic antique 1920s-era German mohair bears but were crafted from high-quality polyester fibers and plastic beads for durability.
