The Boyds Collection Ltd. began as an antiques shop in the home of its founder, chairman emeritus, and the "Head Bean", G.M. Lowenthal and his partner (now wife), Justina Unger (Lowenthal).
The Boyds Collection, Ltd. is a leading American designer, importer, and distributor of handcrafted collectibles. While Boyds is perhaps best known for its lines of plush bears and resin figurines, the company also offers such gift items as glass ornaments and doll accessories.
Boyds Collection, Ltd. originated in 1979 when Blooming-dale managers Gary (G.M.) and Justina (Tina) Lowenthal left their jobs and moved to Boyds, Maryland, to open a small antique shop out of their “semi-restored” Victorian home.
By 1982, the Lowenthals began to wholesale some of their own reproductions, including their very successful duck decoys.
In 1984, the Lowenthals produced their first resin sculptures of minutely detailed miniature houses. These “Gnomes Homes” were a combination of American architecture and Gary Lowenthal’s imagination. Around the same time, the Lowenthals’ created their first plush teddy bear, which they named Matthew after their newborn son.
In 1987, the Boyds company was relocated from Maryland to McSherrystown, Pennsylvania, near Gettysburg. The young company also expanded its product line to include hares, moose, and cats in addition to bears.
In 1992, the immensely popular TJ’s Best Dressed line made its debut. The line featured fully jointed bears, cats, moose, and other animals dressed in handmade stylish clothing, including homespun rompers and hats trimmed with silk flowers.
In 1993, Boyds Bears released its first series of Resin Boyds Bears Collectibles and named them "The Bearstone Collection".
Then in 1994 G.M. ... Every year since then, new resin figurines have been added to Boyds Bears wildly popular Resin figurine line.
In the fall of 1997, Boyds expanded the Dollstone Collection and introduced its first two porcelain dolls.
While Boyds plush animals and resin figurines comprised 97 percent of its sales in 1998, the company licensed its images for other products as well, such as clothing, home textiles, stationery, and rubber stamps.
Boyds by Enesco products are not toys, they are collector pieces, not intended for children. They are designed for and intended for decorative purposes only and should be kept in a location where children do not have access
