Bear collectors know that one of the most sought after teddy bears manufactured by Merrythought is Cheeky. This charming teddy bear has been around since it’s creation in 1956. I think collectors love Cheeky as much as they do simply because it showcases the classic teddy bear features collectors love. The original Cheeky was made of gold mohair and plush.
Ten years after Cheeky debuted, Mr. & Mrs. Twisty Cheeky were created. In fact, Cheeky is still manufactured in present day. The limited edition creations are quite valuable. Cheeky teddy bears, old and new, are treasured by those who own them.
If you are looking to identify your Merrythought Cheeky teddy bear, the early editions were labeled with a tag on the bears foot, reading Merrythought, Hygenic toys, Made In England. Bears created after 1957 sported a tag that read Merrythought, Ironbridge, Shrops, Made In England.
