A Beautiful order Excellent Condition Boxed Wooden Original First Version Walt Disney Pluto Pelham Puppet.

Who doesn't love an old puppet?
This amazing Rare Original British Pelham Puppet with Original Box I believe is to be one of the earlier of the puppets in the range that was founded in 1947. The Disney character puppets started to be made in 1953 and there were many kinds made including this gorgeous quirky fellow Pluto.

As far as I can tell he is in complete original extremely good almost excellent condition. A Red felt tongue, Brown felt ears and tail and a Red wooden ring around his neck. There are a few small chips to the paint and on the back feet but order all the strings are original with a small brass ring as is the wooden hand cross that is marked Pelham Puppet. There is an old rubber band that is worn but still attached and the original string to hang.
The cardboard Box has 4 staples each side and has wear with some seemingly water damage but all of the writing on the label is clear. Starting from the left of the box it reads a Red Pig trademark in a circle and under that, Pelham Puppets Pty Marlborough. A Pelham Puppet in the center with a blue curtain and on the right, A Walt Disney Character copyright Walt Disney Productions Made in England.
It comes with the original instructions and a letter from Pelpop requesting to join the Pelpop club. It is unsigned and unused. The box also has the word Pluto stamped on the side with some numbers 21/10.
What is so sweet is it is also signed to the original owner as a gift saying “ With love from Auntie Mae.”
If you are a collector of these gorgeous puppets I think you will obviously know more about them than I do and know it is a beautiful piece that will only get rarer and rarer as time goes by.
A unique gift for a young boy to have in his room on display hanging on the wall and to be well taken care of.
What a Walt Disney joy this puppet is. He just makes me smile.
