Item Description:
Up for sale is an authentic vintage Sooty Glove Puppet manufactured in England by Chad Valley, dating from the late 1950s to the early 1960s.
This classic British television collectable measures exactly 23cm (approx. 9 inches) from the ears to the base hem. It is constructed from traditional golden mohair plush, featuring the iconic stitched black fabric ears, amber glass/plastic eyes, an embroidered horizontal bar nose, and original dark brown Rexine fabric hand pads.
Condition Report:
This puppet is in well-loved vintage condition with honest play wear. The mohair has thinned significantly around the lower skirt and parts of the muzzle profile, leaving some visible balding. The brown Rexine pads display standard surface crackling and wear consistent with age. Structural seams are intact, and the head is firmly stuffed. Sold strictly as seen—a fantastic nostalgic addition for any vintage toy collector or fan of the classic Harry Corbett era.
