Maple was born July 1, 1996.
Because Maple was not sold outside of Canada, he has been extremely hard to
find. This white bear has black button eyes and a brown nose, and proudly wears
a Canadian flag sewn on his chest.
Maple the Bear (rare) retired Teenie Beanie Baby with TAG ERRORS and date errors. Tush
tag errors - the box states that his birthday is July 1st 1996 but his tag says
“1993” and he was made in Oak Brook, Illinois, but his tag reads “OakBrook”
(without the space). Maple was introduced January 1, 1997, but the box
indicates that he was introduced February 27, 1997.
*This is the only Maple bear retailed in the United States. He was exclusively
a Ronald McDonald House Charity bear. He belongs to 1 of 4 of the International
Bears of 1996. He is 1 in 4,000 manufactured.
