Mohair Bear 
Designed and Hand Made by Sally Winey

Classic Collecticritters teamed up with Legendary Teddy Bear Artist Sally Winey to produce an officially licensed  Mohair “I Love Lucy” bear for their "I Love Lucy" line of bears. These extremely unique bears were limited to only 200 pieces worldwide and each is hand numbered and signed on the foot by Sally Winey. Each hang tag is also numbered and  features the “I Love Lucy” heart logo as well as the Classic Collecticritters Logo.

The front of the hang tag also has a  facsimile copy of Sally Winey’s autograph. The inside of the tag features the facsimile signature of Bruce Bronn, owner and CEO of Unforgettable Licensing, the agent who authorizes this officially approved "I Love Lucy" bear for CBS Entertainment. 

This Classic Collecticritter bear designed and hand made  by Sally Winey in her Morgantown studio was the first Mohair "I Love Lucy" brought to the market. "These are going to be one of the most sought after "I Love Lucy" collectibles yet and I do not doubt that this bear in the future will be valued at more than twice that amount." said Linda Braun, VP of Marketing for Collecticritters. Each Mohair bear is hand dyed and hand sewn and is fully jointed in the head, arms and legs and comes with hand set imported German Glass Eyes. 


Origin of I Love Lucy:
I Love Lucy was an American television sitcom starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley. The black-and-white series originally ran from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, on CBS. After the series ended in 1957, however, a modified version continued for three more seasons with 13 one-hour specials, running from 1957 to 1960, known first as The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show and later in reruns as The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour.

The show, which was the first scripted television program to be shot on 35 mm film in front of a studio audience, won five Emmy Awards and received numerous nominations. Another award that the show won was the coveted George Foster Peabody Award for "recognition of distinguished achievement in television." In 2012 it was voted the 'Best TV Show of All Time' in a survey conducted by ABC News and People Magazine.

I Love Lucy was the most watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons, and was the first to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings (an accomplishment later matched by The Andy Griffith Show and Seinfeld). The show is still syndicated in dozens of languages across the world, and remains popular, with an American audience of 40 million each year. A colorized version of its Christmas episode attracted more than eight million viewers when CBS aired it in prime time in 2013 – 62 years after the show premiered.
