Mary Meyer's legacy of creating safe and fun toys dates back to 1933, when a young Mary and her husband, Hans, began designing, manufacturing, and selling tomato and animal pin cushions, along with dolls. Over the years, they expanded into the world of stuffed toys, moving the company to the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont in the early 1940s. In the mid-1950s, Mary's son Walter joined the company, and he continues to be actively involved to this day.

In 1982, Walter's son, Kevin, joined the company, eventually becoming president in 1986. Through the ensuing years, three of Kevin's brothers would also join the family business in various capacities. Mary herself remained active in the management of the company until 1982, when she retired at the age of 78. Even after her retirement, she continued to be involved with the company, spending many hours in the factory store and delighting in visits with teddy bear collectors, signing their Mary Meyer collector bears.

Sadly, Mary Meyer passed away in 1999 at the age of 94, but her influence lives on. Known as "Gram" to family, friends, townspeople, employees, and colleagues worldwide, Mary brought a sense of gentleness and graciousness to the toy industry. Today, you can see her principles reflected in over 400 different stuffed toy designs.

Lobbie Cape Cod Lobster is a shining example of Mary Meyer's commitment to quality and safety. Easy care and machine washable in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle, this plush friend is air dry and safe for children of every age. With its pincher embroidered with "Cape Cod," Lobbie Lobster is sure to become a treasured companion for your little one.
