Pelham Puppet: Sailor, type LS.

Hand made by Pelham Puppets in the 1950's, all beautifully hand painted.

Solid wooden head with felt hat, wooden body, limbs and feet, assembled using metal screw eyes. 

Costume in lovely condition, no moth damage or fading.

Original factory stamped wooden controller with black strings, though some damage and repairs to strings, please see photos.
Original brown box in very good condition, character name reference stamped to one end of box lid.

1947–1955: early boxes were two-part trays with lids made of brown card and a label glued to the lid.

This sailor is a very early one as you can see from his semi circular feet, and probably little lead hands.


This cheeky little puppet is in full working order and ready to set sail.
