Ty Beanie Baby “Maple” Bear (1996) – Canada Edition with Original Tag & Protector

A charming tribute to national heritage and 1990s nostalgia, this original “Maple” Beanie Baby by Ty Inc. was released in 1996 to celebrate Canada, with its official birth date set on Canada Day—July 1st.

Crafted in soft, clean ivory plush and finished with a vibrant red ribbon, this delightful bear features an embroidered Canadian flag emblem to the chest, offering a subtle yet distinctive sense of identity and character. The original Ty heart tag remains attached and is thoughtfully preserved within a protective casing, maintaining its crisp presentation.

Presented in excellent condition, this example shows minimal signs of age, with bright fabric, intact stitching, and a well-kept tag—qualities increasingly appreciated by collectors and those seeking display-worthy pieces.

Whether added to a curated Beanie Baby collection, gifted as a meaningful keepsake, or styled as a nostalgic decorative accent, this piece offers both charm and cultural significance.
