BEAR # 40     ARTIST: LINDA SPIEGEL of BEARLY THERE     SOLD
Linda Spiegel and her Bearly There are likely known to most teddy bear collectors.  One of the earliest bear artists, she has come to be one of the best known.  This is Don't Shoot, a special little 8" teddy with black glass eyes and black embroidered nose and mouth on a tan snout.  His over-sized ears give him a unique look.  The original tag says that Rosemary Volpp (a writer and illustrator of The Teddy Bear Encyclopedia & several other teddy bear books) named the bear.  We don't know, but we suspect Rosemary was inspired by the cartoon showing Teddy Roosevelt on a hunt, refusing to shoot a small bear cub.  It's from that cartoon, of course, that the phrase "teddy bear" came into use.  This little black bear is fully jointed and very anxious to come to your house1988.
Some of the other bears think my ears are too big.  I think they just make me that much cuter.

BEAR # 118     ARTIST: LINDA SPIEGEL of BEARLY THERE     SOLD

Meet Dreamboat.  He's a stocky 15" bear made from a cream colored wool-looking fur.  He has brown iridescent eyes, brown embroidered nose and mouth, and cloth paw pads.  Unlike most of Linda's bears, his head is not jointed, though his limbs are.  He's got something of a twist to his head, giving him that dreamboat look.  He can stand without support.  He wears an ivory bow.  He's number 64 of a limited edition of only 200.  Linda has autographed the hang tag.
Hi!  They call me Dreamboat. Let's talk. All the girls like my build.
When do we eat? I said, when do we eat? Original tag showing this is #64 of 200 and autographed by Linda Spiegel-Lohre.
