(1923-26) Early button. CHAD VALLEY AEROLITE Trade Mark

One of the earliest buttons. CHAD VALLEY AEROLITE Trade Mark. Chad valley introduced Kapok (Aerolite) into the body of bears very early, to make them more cuddly. These bears had vertically stitched triangular noses with a top final horizontal stitch/stitches. Good quality mohair was used. They had large flat ears on the sides of their head and amber and glass eyes stitched on wire shanks. Pads were now velveteen, large and oval. There were four claws on paws and five on pads. Bears were in 14 different sizes.  See Cider and Rosie in Chad Valley Collection
