Vintage bears are becoming more difficult to source, rare almost and as a result can be hard to find in a very good condition. A majority of our Vintage teddy bears have been purchased over the years from Christie’s Auction House, London.

Vintage teddy bears are still regarded as a low risk but potentially high yield investment. Silly Bears is home to a wide variety of Vintage teddy bears for the discerning collector looking for a long term high yield investment. The Christie’s provenance adds to the perception of ‘luxury’, ‘collectable’ and ‘gift’, which was our targeted niche for Silly Bears.

NB: Please note more photographs can be provided. Please use our online feedback form with any further requests or queries.
