BERG is an Austrian manufacturer established in the mid 40s. They created lovely stuffed animals and hand puppets with the slogan "Animals with Heart" and a distinctive red heart shaped chest pendant.
Here's an example of a Berg Teddy Bear Hand Puppet made circa 1960-70s. Similar to other creations of the time, this puppet was finely handcrafted in Austria using the best materials. Teddy's googly eyes give him a comical expression that is adorable. His body is a mix of artificial plush and felt. His head is stuffed with excelsior (wood wool) and has a plastic finger tube for movement. This toy has been loved and has lost the heart tag, leaving a small hole on his felt chest. But a Berg tag is still present on the side seam. Don't wait to bring Teddy home!
