We make our Teddy bears the old fashioned way, one at a time.
This means we can't do a lot of bears but it also means that each is the best bear we can make.
We have many
Stearnsy Bears for sale that are dressed in
antique and vintage clothing. We also have great undressed premium mohair Teddy Bears,
bears from vintage mink and other furs. We also have some that were made out of whatever unusual or whimsical
material came our way. Every day is an adventure!
Nicole and her husband (I apologize but can't
remember his name) stopped in for a visit and now Old Black Joe is off to live in Lieusant, France. What an adventure! Wish I could take
a trip to France. I hope he writes.
So if you are looking for something out of the ordinary, something that makes people feel young again,
some thing you will keep for a lifetime, you have found the right place.
Chief Red Bull. "When the back yard was as big as the Wild West" Would you like to
return to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Sorry, we can't do that for you. But what we can do is give you a just a light touch
of the joy of youth. No offense to the Native Americans, but I grew up playing Cowboys and Indians. For hours on end, we would battle
it out in the yard and we did have toy guns. But what I didn't have is a cool outfit like Chief Red Bull. That must have been rich kid's
stuff. But in 1958, Tommy got this Yankiboy Indian costume for what surely was a happy birthday.(see image below). I wonder if he still
would remember. But even if you have forgotten or maybe just misplaced those memories, A Stearnsy Bear can help revive them. Sure you
can't go back and you probably wouldn't want to. But we see our job as helping you go forward with just a bit more joy. You can put your
own value on that.
Chief Red Bull is our largest size bear around 22" tall. He is made from a great vintage coat and makes a strong husky bear. (Do you remember
when they had husky sizes for kids. That's how I knew for sure I was a fat kid. There are a few parts of the past, I don't care
to visit. Never mind, we are heading for the swell memories.) He is dressed in all original Yankiboy Playclothes Outfit.(see image) Yankiboy's slogan,
"Make The Children Happy." Yankiboy made palyclothes for kids from 1919 to 1959. It's to bad kids don't need playclothes anymore but
the world keeps on turning. The original box for the outfit comes with the bear. It's a bit ragged, but we've all aged a bit since 1958.
You just don't know, how good a bear like this might make you feel. If you care to see, give us a call at 417-285-3201.
