Eagles have a cultural significance extending before the U.S. was a nation, making it an iconic representation of bravery and strength. It was 1782 when the Bald Eagle became the recognized symbol of American patriotism. In 1945, President Harry S. Truman made this majestic species a part of the Official Seal of the President of the United States. The Great American Spirit Teddy Bear with Eagle honor this legacy with traditional craftmanship and the finest materials. Our experienced artists handcrafted this collectible with genuine mohair and included a red, white, and blue ribbon on his chest that has been carefully antiqued.

Showcasing national pride, the Teddy bear and the eagle both typify the true spirit of the United States.
