- History Biographical
- Eaton's launched Punkinhead, the teddy bear with the thick woolly tuft of hair, for the Christmas season of 1948. The story of the little bear who eventually gets to be in Santa's Parade charmed children for the next decade and everyone would cheer for Santa's little helper in the Parade. Eaton's distributed story booklets of the sweet little bear's adventures and featured Punkinhead on records and television commercials.
