Ozark black bear

Although teddy bears have always been made in many colours, traditionally bears were made to look fairly realistic, so brown and black bears were the bears of choice for many. 

One of the earliest black bears made was by Steiff in 1912 for the British market. It was thought that these bears were given as mourning gifts to people and that the sinking of the Titanic in the same year was also a factor for their popularity. This early Steiff bear is very sort after amongst collectors and one sold in 1990 at auction for £24,200. 

Black teddies are less common than other bears due to the fact that their features can be difficult to see. Making them less cute and adorable to some, but still favoured by some. 

Hopefully over time we will receive many examples of black teddies from all over the world. It will be interesting to see the different styles and also hear why their owners love them so. 

Real black bears are found in North America, Iran, Japan, Korea and Burma.
