1970's teddy bears- much loved

ciano6

I will try and attach a photo of my much loved teddy bears Rory (with green ears) and Stephen (with orange ears). They would have been purchased in Cork (probably Woolworths) in late 1977/1978. One of my good friends has a bear called Tedser who looks like a tanned version of Rory.
I'd love to know more about them, like where they were made, how much they cost, and whether any of you have any identical twins or close relatives of these little fellas? They have no tags, nor have they ever unless I ate them off when I was very small. They do have little outfits (Rory wears an Irish Rugby type kit while Stephen is usually dressed in a blue and white surgeons outfit or sometimes as a SCUBA diver) (made in later years) but I've removed them for this shot as this is their original birthday outfits.
So does anyone have any info? Or even other loved bears?

I have a brown almost velvet type bear in the attic with a squeek in his belly. He is years old

Rory is here next to me now, and he agrees that the attic is no place for old bears.
