Vintage Merrythought Cheeky Bear Mohair Teddy 1960s 1970s Bells in Ears Label

This vintage Merrythought Cheeky Bear is a classic example of the company’s most beloved design. With its large rounded ears, stitched smile, jointed limbs and playful character, the Cheeky has been a collector’s favourite for decades. This bear retains its thick golden mohair coat in excellent condition, felt paw pads, and the original Merrythought Ironbridge Shropshire England label stitched to the foot. Inside each ear are the traditional jingling bells, a signature feature of the Cheeky design. Clean, well-preserved and full of personality, it represents the very best of British teddy bear making from the mid-twentieth century.
