"The story told is Ruth Fraser and her daughter Nola Hart owned "The Teddy Bear Garden", a gift shop filled with various artist teddy bears located in Canada. As they also carried Ty product, Ty Warner came for a visit. Ruth Fraser recalls he came in and observed many of the designs in the shop, just as if he were any casual customer. He then presented her with Carlin and asked to buy her design and all rights. It was this moment Attic treasures were created, and with a few edits, "Carlin" became "Fraser", named after
Ruth Fraser." (From Ty Plush Archive)
