The inaugural auction 'Rare Bears' is a new offering from Special Auction Services, following on from the huge success of the 'Teddy Bears of Witney' auction in December 2024. This auction is for special teddy bears and soft toys, and hopefully is the first of many and will become an annual early December event. 

This one includes some lovely and rare teddy bears and animals for all pockets, but perhaps the most exciting, is the last part of the collection of Sue Pearson, the UK's first antique teddy bear dealer.
