Teddy Bears stuffed with excelsior - a true treasure
Teddy Bears stuffed with excelsior belong to the rarity treasure of the Teddy Bear world and are only rarely offered on the collector's market today. What used to be the daily work of the Teddy Bear makers in former times, has become a valuable and rare treasure today. Worldwide there are only a handful of experts who are still familiar with the traditonal art of excelsior stuffing. Years of training, muscle strength and an artistic sense for styling are necessary to carry out this very time-consuming work. Only very old and long-standing manufactures have still the knowledge today, how Teddy Bears can be stuffed with excelsior according to old example, so that nowadays excelsior stuffed Teddy Bears are hardly to find.
For more than 100 years, we have cultivated the tradition of stuffing our Teddy Bears with excelsior and we have preserved for us this knowledge untill today. This gives our Teddy Bears their exceptional value and makes them to uncomparable and unique creatures with value-preserving character.
The Classic HERMANN Bear with inserted snout
Design Explanation
The "Bear with inserted snout" is a type of model developed by Max Hermann in the 1920s. For this model, the snout consists of a shorter-pile plush than the bear itself. It is cut separately and sewn onto the bear's head part. With this model variant, Max Hermann's Teddy Bears became known and famous. Like hardly any other bear design, the "Bear with the inserted snout" is linked to the name HERMANN and has written history. Still today this design is the preferred Teddy Bear model in our company.
Dralon plush
A little material science
Dralon plushes came onto the market in the mid-1950s. They replaced the then inexpensive artificial silk and expensive mohair as Teddy Bear plush. Dralon plushes were the first plushes made from pure acrylic fiber. They were softer and more densely woven than the mohair plushes of the time, but - in contrast to artificial silk - had similar properties to mohair. The heyday of Dralon plush toys was the 1960s. Today, pure Dralon plush is no longer used in plush toy production, mainly because of its high price. Teddy bears made from original old Dralon plush are now a particular rarity and a reminiscence of the great times of the 1960s.
