This Donkey, sometimes known as Dobifer was made in the 1950s. It's a Pelham Puppet with its original brown box. Made in the United Kingdom. He's also complete with his carrot. Pelham Puppets produced puppets in the original Brown Boxes, which were two part trays made from brown card with a paper label glued to the lid, were produced from 1947-55. They were the first-issue boxes from the company, which was founded by Bob Pelham in 1947.
The puppet is in very good condition and full working order as shown in the pictures, any areas of wear or damage are highlighted in the pictures so please have a good look at them to satisfy yourself with the condition. I have taken plenty of pictures of the item. The main thing to note is that there is some paint loss which is due to the parts being made from bamboo. The puppet comes with it's original brown box. The box is in very good condition considering its age but again please check the pictures. Please note that one corner of the top is split and the sticker on the top is quite worn. The box is stamped with DONKEY at the end.
