Bing Teddy Bears
Another of the big names in popular collectible bears is Gebruder Bing. Bing bears date back to the early twentieth century. The Bing toy company itself dates back to the 1890s but they made their first “Teddy Bear in 1907, amidst the explosion of the bears’ popularity. There were some issues with charges of copying between Steiff and Bing, but both made wonderful, beautifully detailed bears that are prized by collectors today.
