History of  Brass Button Bears

On a sunny winters day in 1900 June Goodridge,

a seamstress in upstate Maine, opened the door

to find a baby on her porch.

He was wrapped in a simple blanket

She cared for the baby and their bond became so strong

that she adopted the child and named him Joshua.

When Joshua was eight, he made a teddy bear on his mothers

sewing machine. 

He dressed it in the clothes of the day and fastened a 

brass button to it.

The bear became his friend and every ten years

Joshua made another special bear.

He went on to become successful in business and life,

with a happy marriage and ten children

In the year 2000 Joshua Goodridge will celebrate

his 100th Birthday.

To this day he tells his children and grandchildren

the story of how the bears bring luck and 

prosperity to his life.

**Antique and Vintage items by their very nature may show
normal to extreme wear and/or miscellaneous faults
due to age and use.

As we define the condition that is relative to
the stated age of the piece,
we would expect to see some ‘character marks’
consistent with the age

*JS Photography props are not included in the sale 

For Many Years We Supply Vintage, Antiques
Rare Collectibles & One of a Kind Irreplaceable Items

We never alter, repair or replace any of the features
on our bears & animals as we like to leave them
in the original condition for our collectors
We feel replacing them with anything from a different era
makes them no longer original or authentic

All of our bears are heavily researched for hours by our staff
with a massive library of Bear Collectors Identification Guides & Books
Bear magazines and Internet research
Everything we can find that pertains to that particular bear we then type in the description

We do our utmost to correctly identify and price all of our items accordingly.

Professional photographers work to take as many pictures as possible
to help show the buyer what they are purchasing.

The bears are then carefully packaged and put into storage
where they are not removed until purchased and shipped.
