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. ConditionExcellent vintage condition. The mohair is plush and complete, retaining its colour and texture. Joints move smoothly and hold poses well. The felt paw pads are intact with only light age wear.

Glass-style eyes are bright and original. The bells in the ears jingle clearly. No repairs, stains or odour. An outstanding, highly collectible Merrythought Cheeky Bear.
