Pair Antique Teddy Bear Refrigerator Magnets

Pair Antique Teddy Bear Refrigerator Magnets

PICTURES ANTIQUE TEDDY BEARS


This pair of magnets feature the dramatic photography of Eric Long at the Smithsonian. His subject: the 1903 toy bear made by Morris and Rose Michtom, Teddy's Bear. The Michtoms fashioned their bear after one pictured in a 1902 cartoon by Cliffored Berryman, showing U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt rejecting the offer to shoot a captive bear cub while hunting in Mississippi. Their bear was unique in that by imitating Berryman's cartoon, it was the first to put cute ahead of realism. From a single bear in their candy store window would grow the first U.S. teddy bear manufacturing company, the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company (1907).

Each magnet size: 4" x 4-3/4 (10.16cm x 12.06cm)

By 1906 America was Teddy Bear crazy. That's about the time the 's was dropped from the name. Society women carried toy bears about, like purses, Seymour Eaton wrote a series of children's books, The Roosevelt Bears, and Albert Williams wrote a popular two-step. Before long, Ideal didn't have the bear market to itself. Steiff had developed a Teddy Bear about the same time, and the Gund company was soon founded, along with many others, including such well established German toy makers as Bing, Schuco, and Hermann.
