Lot Essay

'Dicky' was designed at the same time as 'Teddy Baby' in 1930. Two versions of 'Dicky' were available; white mohair with printed pads and gold mohair without the printed pads. This blond version was initially brought out as a cheaper version of the white bear and was only available for a very short time.
