Teddy Roosevelt's Teddy Bear

Made circa 1903 by the Ideal Toy Company, this toy is one of the original Teddy Bears. The bear became associated with President Theodore Roosevelt after he refused to shoot a bear that was tied to a tree in 1902. Candy store owners Rose and Morris Michtom asked Roosevelt's permission to make “Teddy's Bears” to commemorate the event, and he granted it. The stuffed bears proved immensely popular, and for the 60th anniversary of the creation of the bear, this one was brought out to pose with President Roosevelt's great-grandchildren. After this, the bear was supposed to be donated, but the children found themselves unable to part with it, and the donation was delayed for several years.
