[PW] Pickford Bears ltd. and Brass Button Bears

[Beverly Choltco-Devlin My]

Hi everyone, Our patron would like an address for the Pickford Bears, Ltd company that manufactures(d?) the above Brass Button Bears.  I have checked several of my business directories and the few collectibles books that I have here and done a Google search. They are definitely collectible, but seem to have come from nowhere (except I did see a reference on a website to Minneapolis- a search for either name in the Minneapolis directory turns up nothing).  The link to www.brassbuttonbears.com goes to a site that obviously bought the domain name but is not directly related to the company.  I have also sent email messages to several "teddy bear" experts on the web, but haven't received a response.  I suspect this is something that is almost at the tip of my fingers but I just can't see it or reach it yet.  
Thanks!
