Everyone knows (at least Boyds hopes they do!) that the only bears you can trust are Boyds Bears. But just in case, Malcolm and his little bear friend are making sure of it. This nostalgic, antique style bearstone fella is proudly holding up a wooden sign (only the third Bearstone sign Boyds has ever done!) depicting the Boyds logo and famous trademark saying"Bears & Hares You Can Trust". In 1987, Gary Lowenthal began designing a line of collectible plush teddy Bears, Hares, Tabbies, Pooches, Moose, etc. Thus The Boyds Bear Collection. In 1992, he started to design cold cast resin interpretations of his Plush Line and created The Bearstone Collection. In 1993, he introduced The Folkstone Collection...a line of whimsical Folk Art Figurines, Snowmen, Santas, Angels, Hares, Moose, etc. In 1996, G.M. introduced The Dollstone Collection... unique sculptures of Victorian Children with their Dolls and Teddies Boyd's Bears Malcolm with Friend...Bearstone Sign #BOYDS-2298 - Keepsakes
