Boyds Bears: History

About Boyds Bears ...

The Boyds Collection Ltd. began as an antiques shop in the home of its founder, chairman emeritus, and the "Head Bean", G.M. Lowenthal and his partner (now wife), Justina Unger (Lowenthal). The company expanded into decoy ducks, wool teddy bears and Gnomes Homes. In 1987, the firm relocated to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and the company continued to grow. In 1993, Boyds released its first series of resin figurines, The Bearstone Collection, and followed that with Folkstones, Dollstones, and a host of other wacky resin characters, villages, dolls, pottery, treasure boxes, and nifty home decor.
