Vintage Farnell “Campbell” Bear with Red, White and Blue muslin outfit and "I'm as happy as a clam at high tide" metal badge. Attributed to original British Teddy Bear producer J. K. Farnell. Manufactured 1914-1920 these are also known as Soldier Bears as many were taken to war – given by wives and girlfriends they often feature upturned noses in order to “peer” out of a soldier’s pocket. Fully jointed 3.5” threadbare in places mohair bear with orange/black glass eyes, no ears and red, white and blue muslin outfit.

Believed to be part of a collection originally owned by twins David and Guy Campbell (b. 18th January 1910), bought by their grandmother in Devon where her trophy-adorned house inspired characterful play and creative outfits for these bears.
