Behold the saddest penguin you've ever seen! This adorable vintage felt penguin is about 11" tall and 5–6" wide. Hand-sewn construction, blanket-stitched detailing, and black and white stitched eyes.
It’s only got one wing, and the feet are only stitched on one side so they flop around like a drunk marionette.
Could be 1940s–50s-60s homemade, Sunday school craft project, or possibly a pattern-based toy sold in kits. Either way, it’s loaded with charm. Found in an estate lot with other toys from the 30s through 50s.
Details:
Perfect for collectors of vintage toys, primitive crafts, oddities, or haunted nursery displays. You could even use this little guy as a quirky winter holiday decoration — or plop him on a shelf next to your creepy dolls.
