This Merrythought Guardsman Bear stands 18 inches tall from the English Heritage Collection Guardsman Bear and lives in a smoke free home. He still has part of his paper ear tag and the right sole has the Merrythought cloth tag 'MERRYTHOUGHT IRONBRIDGE SHROPSHIRE MADE IN ENGLAND'. There is nothing mass produced about a Merrythought Toy because each animal is lovingly hand-crafted. No two animals of any design are ever exactly the same. A Merrythought toy is a joy forever - a treasured family friend to be passed down from generation to generation - a valued heirloom that is guaranteed to give year after year of lasting pleasure.
