2002 bought the 50th Anniversary of Harry Corbett’s much loved, mischievous yet magical, hand puppets Sooty, Sweep and Soo. In fact Richard Cadell, who purchased the rights in 2007 from Matthew Corbett, Harry’s son, still can be found performing in stage shows today. On offer is the “Izzy whizzy, let’s get busy” spell casting Sooty, courtesy of the British teddy bear makers, Deans Rag Book Co
Sweep is a 27cm / 10.6″ , fully jointed, character bear. He has been sewn from two luxuriously dense mohair in grey, with glossy black for his ears, plus tactile faux suede for his paws, with his right sole featuring the iconic, Deans Rag Book Co. logo badge and his left, embroidered in white thread ’50 Years’ confirming his celebration. He has glossy, two-tone amber eyes with a kissable hand stitched, red thread nose and mouth and wears a pair of blue denim dungarees. It’s rare to see Sweep’s dungaree legs, let alone his paws! making this Sweep Teddy much sought after.
This huge part of Children’s Entertainment History is a Limited Edition of only 2,000 pieces and comes with his numbered certificate of authenticity.
Very hard to find.
Approx size: 27 (cm)

Delightfully, cuddly just perfect .
Bought for my grandson instead of an Easter Egg as he loves penguins. It came very quickly in a lovely little bag with a message. Beautiful quality well loved!
In general the World of Bears is helpful and efficient, with a great range of lovely bears at a reasonable cost. We had a miscommunication which meant I waited a while for part of my order, but once that was sorted there were no problems. Packaging for overseas shippment could be a little better with more padding inside the box around the bears so they do not get damaged - the last 2 boxes I received have been squashed in one side but thankfully the bears were undamaged.
Good service. Well packed and delivered on time
