Peacock & Co. Ltd.
Around 1935, Chad Valley introduced a 'Peacock'-series bears. They were real Chad Valley models, but with another label. Peacock Teddy Bears resemble Chad Valley bears, because they were probably made in the same factory, but sold under the name Peacock. Those bears are rare and reasonably valuable.
Trademark
The Peacock label is a peacock with a spread tail, with the text 'Hygienic Toys - made in England - Peacock's Stores'. |
