A teddy bear given to a Saskatoon girl 92 years ago before she moved to England has found its way to a Saskatoon museum.

The little girl, Sybil Farris Spinks, still lives in England — and is now 95 years old.

Her daughter Angela Wicks recently came to Saskatoon to see her mother's birthplace and donated the bear to the Western Development Museum, collections curator Ruth Bitner said.

The story of the bear is well-known among family members. It was Sybil's third birthday on the day her family boarded a train to leave Saskatoon in April, 1920 — and a relative gave the stuffed toy to her as a gift.

It originally came with green fur, although that's mostly gone now.

"That teddy must have seen a lot of lovin'," Bitner said. "He is very worn. And I think that he's had generations of playing."

It'll be a welcome addition to the museum collection, Bitner said.

"When you know that he left Saskatoon in 1920 and has come back these 92 years later ... I think it speaks to people," she said.
