From the Authors
Helmut Russ & Christian Russ
I was contacted by the grandson Mr. Christian Russ
of the Fechter family and have been
asked to help bring the story of the bears to the World
I was very proud and of course I graciously accepted
and am offering this very exclusive limited edition book
that will only be available through Jadees Antique Bear Shoppe
I have always been in love with the Fechter bears from first sight
and when Christian contacted me personally I was so honored
and couldn't believe my good fate to be able
to actually be involved in promoting the
history of the Fechter bears
I have deep respect and admiration for his family
and ever since I held the first Fechter bear
I knew these were very special bears
My deepest thanks go to both of these gentlemen
who have provided us all with information
and a deeper knowledge of their bears

Berta and Wilhelm Fechter have produced teddy bears and other stuffed animals
from the postwar years to 1979, and were among other companies in Austria,
a market leader and well known.
Their toys were first manufactured in Austria from pure mohair plush and entirely by hand.
Their quality was correspondingly high so they present even today collectors' items.
Fechter bears are highly prized by collectors and are very popular.
This book describes the emergence and development of the Fechter company,

We wish to lovers of Fechter-Spielwaren furthermore much joy

An excerpt from Helmut Russ translated from German to English
" I am the grandson of Wilhelm and Berta Fechter.
Since the events described here about 30 years are passed.
I have recently celebrated my 50 birthday.
Now they will naturally wonder what this has to do with the family Fechters under the same company.
Well, in such an old one begins to live on the perishability
and think the dead.
You can see past his own for the first time in life and family history
from a different perspective.
They want to create something that remains preserved for posterity,
and will not forget in a short time.
What would be obvious as well as a book?
A written piece about one's own family,
who worked their whole life, and has struggled to fulfill their dream
of an own production teddy bear,
and had buried the suffering at the end of this dream.
This book will not appear negative,
but rather to encourage everyone,
his desire and aim down and follow a straight line
like my grandparents, who lived a long time ago
and it was their dream come true for some time too!
My family and I want this book Berta and Wilhelm Fechter
devoting plush animals a great number of children have been happy
and now have many collectors' hearts beat faster. "
