Collection: DEANS RAG BOOK BEARS

Welcome to the brand new Dean's Rag Book Co Ltd. From our origins in London in 1903, Dean's have always been at the forefront of toy design and manufacturers and were the first British company to produce teddy bears as early as 1915 (as documented) and probably even earlier from 1906. 

Dean's made many types of toys from rag books, for which they were initially famous, to beautifully crafted dolls, teddy bears and even Mickey Mouse and other characters. 
In the late 20th Century Dean's were to be found in Pontypool, Gwent (UK) where the production of limited edition collector teddy bears began and made the company one of the best loved teddy bear manufactures in the UK. 

A journey through the new catalogue will surely wet your appetite for more of these lovely teddy bears.
