Hey bear fans! If you had any amount of money to spend, and the resources to find it, what would be your ultimate bear? An early steiff? an enormous animatronic from a store display? I was thinking about what my "holy grail" of bears would be, and I couldn't decide! Please post pics of your hearts desire!
Ohhh easy for me Ted Menten!!!
One of these Please!!!!!!!!!!
So much fun! Mine is an original 1929 Steiff Clown bear. I was lucky enough to restore one of these treasures quite a few years ago. I fell absolutely in love with him. Here's his pic after a little TLC.
Definitely an early Steiff! Speaking of adorable old Steiff clowns, here's a picture that I love:

That Steiff clown bear is gorgeous, Becky! I'm in love again.
Does it have to be a bear?
Those antique steiff teddys are amazing and I would love to have one, but even more I dream about owning a victorian style rocking horse...
My holy grail was Charlie bears,Diesel but I was just lucky enough to get him last month
So now I'll have to think of another one
What a handsome fellow, congrats on getting him!:)
I would love to have the original "Aloysius", once owned by the famous Peter Bull and who starred in the series "Brideshead Revisited".
If I could persuade Ian Pout from Teddy Bears of Witney to part with him.... :love:
A really BIG, good-condition, humpbacked, lng-armed Steiff, and THIS fellow, from the Gund Signature Collection:
