Why You’ll Love It
A sweet little treasure for a miniature childhood scene, this vintage wooden pull toy was hand-painted by miniature artist B. Gibson. The country-style teddy bear has a wonderfully simple folk-art character, complete with a cheerful expression, tiny blue bow tie, and rolling black wheels.
Signed on the base by the artist, this charming toy is perfect for a dollhouse nursery, child’s bedroom, playroom, or collection of old-fashioned miniature toys.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
