Stuffed with value
Article Abstract:
The teddy bears which are most highly prized by collectors are those made by Steiff, which can fetch extremely high prices at auction. However, there is also strong interest in teddy bears made by UK companies such as Chiltern, Chad Valley and Merrythought. Even the value of modern copies of old bears can rise very quickly. There are now specialist teddy bear shops in a number of towns and cities in the UK.
