PANDA BEAR By Wendy Boston Pander.
(Wendy Boston bears was started by Wendy and Ken Boston in South Wales in 1945 after World War II.They revolutionized bear manufacturing by introducing the first washable bear to Britain in 1954. They also introduced the safe screw in locked plastic eyes which was attached by a rust proof nut behind the plush.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of the Wendy Boston Bears were made of synthetic fibers like nylon but some are made of mohair.They are mainly unjointed bears with undefined feet and often have ears in one piece with the head. This was so they wouldn’t lose an ear when line dried.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They come in many colors with short or long pile plush. The label includes instructions to “Wash in “lukewarm suds.” Some specify Persil, a laundry detergent whose maker endorsed Wendy Boston bears.)
