Lot Essay

The proceeds from the sale of these two bears will be donated to the St. Francis Hospice, Essex.
'These bears are based on a smashing Merrythought Cheeky bear from the 1s bought for ust 50p at a boot sale. The traditional bear is identical to the beautiful Chad Valley Chiltern which was also aquired at a boot sale but for a more expensive £130. I've no idea why but the Boot Sale beas just sort of ended up coming away with m everytime I go filming and are rapidly building up collections of their own' - Lorne Spicer.
