Feather Heart Creationsah cute bears! They all look to be made of mohair which is great. I'm not sure the maker but they don't look to be Steiff unless the one of the fare left has had the mouth re-stiched . That one does have a Steiff looking body. The smaller one in the middle might be a Merrythoughts because he has the large style ears ^_^ As for age I would say at least the 60's or 50's maybe older. Hope the info helps a little Great find by the way!
Past Time BearsThey all appear to have been made by the same manufacturer . . . are those marks on the middle bear's feet some sort of writing?
They do look like a family! I'd put them all in the same age range: 1950s, as you say. Cute!

@SueAnn - Maybe! Little one have pen marks , some kind of birthday greetings 1974. , but I bought it at another seller.
@dangerbears - hm, probably are from '50 :)
