(1950) FADAP. Card Tag

A tag on an original horse. 

A French Company, Fadap (Fabrication Artistique d'Animaux en Peluche) began Teddy Bear production in 1925 from their factory in Divonne-les-Bains.  Early Fadap Teddy Bears are rather tubby, they have long arms and thick paws.  They are indeed very close in their looks to the Pintel bears but one giveaway to identifying a Fadap Teddy Bear is they tend to have upturned noses and they also have a seam under their chin.  Old Fadap Teddy Bears also wore a metal button in their ear, with the words ‘'Fadap'' and ‘'France'' embossed on it. Fadap closed it's doors in 1978.
