| Boyds Bears Collection The Boyds Collection Ltd.® began as an antique shop in the home of G.M. Lowenthal and his partner (now wife), Justina Unger. Instead of purchasing "true antiques" that carried heavy costs, G.M. and Tina began to search out and sell "Antique Reproductions," with the look and feel of true antiques at more affordable prices. This retail venture proved to be so successful that by 1982 they began to wholesale some of these top-selling antique reproductions to other stores. Some of their most successful wholesale items were Antique Reproduction Duck Decoys. G.M. added a new line when he found a group of 100% Merino Wool Bears from China and in 1984, he designed a 12" fully jointed wool bear and named it after his latest "joint venture" with their newborn son, Matthew. The 100% Merino Wool Bears were so successful, G.M. licensed the rights to a design that incorporated "poseable" characteristics with a plush bear's body. Through his designs and through the licensing of other teddy bear artists' designs, the Boyds Bear family continued to grow. Each Boyds Bear is unique, irresistible, and slightly off-center. From a single wool bear in 1984 to the entire collection today, G.M. has seen to it that Boyds Bears, through design and craftsmanship, offer true value whether as a gift or a collectible. |
