Fraser

Style #: 6010

Fraser the bear is one of the original 12 attic treasures. 

“Carlin”

The story told is Ruth Fraser and her daughter Nola Hart owned “The Teddy Bear Garden”, a gift shop filled with various artist teddy bears located in Canada. As they also carried Ty product, Ty Warner came for a visit.  Ruth Fraser recalls he came in and observed many of the designs in the shop, just as if he were any casual customer.  He then presented her with Carlin and asked to buy her design and all rights.  It was this moment Attic treasures were created, and with a few edits, “Carlin” became “Fraser”, named after Ruth Fraser.

Chronology

Fraser’s first issue is found with an artist tush tag and Hong Kong hang tag. The bow is lighter in color and cut vertical on one side and flat on the other.  This run has a more silky plush. The paw pads are darker in color. This was indicated by Ruth Fraser to be the first production run of Fraser. She did note that this run was incorrect, the fabric should not be silky and the eyes were too big. 10,000 examples were returned to the factory to be destroyed. 

Frasers’s continued first issue is found with an artist tush tag and Hong Kong hang tag. The bow is darker in color and cut flat on both sides.  This run has a more silky plush. The paw pads are still darker in color.

This one is the same as above with lighter paw pads. 

Fraser was then issued with a teal bow, 1A “Large” tush tag and HK hang tag. The bow is cut flat on both sides. Ruth Fraser indicates this is the second issue. 

Fraser was then issued with a rust nose, teal bow, 1B tush tag and Korea hang tag. The bow is cut flat on both sides.
