13 In. Limited Edition All-American Teddy Bear

Before there was a Teddy Bear, there was a story.

In 1902, a hunting trip involving President Theodore Roosevelt inspired a political cartoon depicting his refusal to shoot a bear cub. That small act of compassion sparked the creation of the beloved Teddy Bear, transforming a simple toy into a symbol of comfort, friendship, and childhood wonder for generations to come.

To celebrate 250 years of American history, we've created a Bear that honors our favorite American icon—the classic Teddy Bear itself.

Handcrafted in Vermont in an edition of just 250 Bears worldwide, the Limited Edition All-American Teddy Bear is made from luxurious toasted honey fur, custom dyed in-house by our talented artisans to achieve its warm, heirloom-inspired hue. For this special anniversary, we've brought our beloved 13-inch Bear design out of hibernation, giving this collectible a timeless silhouette reminiscent of early Teddy Bears.

Around its neck, an American flag ribbon bow is accented with a brass star, individually crafted by our team of skilled makers. A sweet fluffy tail peeks out from behind, while sparkling golden-brown eyes hold a hidden tribute to this milestone celebration—one eye reads "Born in Vermont" and the other "250th Anniversary."

Chocolate suede details on the nose and paw pads add a touch of old-world craftsmanship, and the right paw is embossed in metallic gold with the commemorative dates 1776–2026, ensuring this keepsake will forever mark America's semiquincentennial.

Only 250 Bears will ever be made, making this a rare opportunity to own a handcrafted piece of American history—and a tribute to the Bear that has been bringing comfort, joy, and companionship to families for more than a century.
