***The government have now relaxed most if not all the lockdown measures***
A.S.H. Auctions have decided for now to keep the sale room closed for customers to come and bid in person. This is because of the space available for customers to be able to feel comfortable. When we can reduce the area for displaying goods and open more sitting area for bidding customers, we will then again welcome you back. We also would like to make sure that the decision by the government to relax all measures is going to be final as we don't what to be changing things again.

DEANS--RAG BOOK Miniature TEDDY BEAR (Complete With Original Box And Paperwork). (Rare)
(From their origins in London in 1903, Dean’s have always been at the fore front of toy design and manufacture and were the first British company to produce teddy bears as early as 1915 (as documented) and probably even earlier from 1906.
Dean’s made many types of toys from rag books from which they were initially famous, to beautifully crafted dolls, teddy bears and even Mickey Mouse and other characters.
In the late 20th Century, Dean’s were to be found in Pontypool, Gwent (UK) where the production of limited edition collector teddy bears began and made the company one of the best loved bear manufactures in the UK.
More recently, another company merger and new management has given Dean’s a new burst of life. After a short break, bear production has re-started, with bears being reproduced as ‘Limited Editions’ from the original classic Dean’s designs.)
