I would think of the Teddy bear, after Teddy Roosevelt.

When I took a special tour there in '77 it wasn't on display, but we were taken upstairs to the storage "attic" where, among other things, we saw the Teddy Bear, JFK's rocking chair, and Lincoln's desk. They really did have an aura of history about them.
