Vintage 1950s Merrythought Mohair Monkey — Jointed, Original Iro

A genuine 1950s Merrythought jointed mohair monkey from England — the one collectors look for by name. The biggest selling point: the original Ironbridge woven label on his foot, still fully legible —MERRYTHOUGHT / IRONBRIDGE / MADE IN ENGLAND / REGD DESIGN. That label is how you know this is the real post-war article. Fully jointed head, arms and legs that still move smoothly. Firm stuffing, sits steadily on display. Golden mohair with no bald patches — the shorter mohair is normal for a 1950sMerrythought. About 12 inches sitting, about 18 inches laid flat. A gentle old-house scent, not smoke. Condition is exactly as shown in the photos — real photos of this exact monkey, what you see is what you get. Please note on color: mohair is a reflective, curly fibre, so the same golden mohair looks lighter or deeper depending on the light it is photographed in, and screens display color differently too. The photos show this monkey under several lighting conditions so you can judge the true color. Color differences caused by lighting or screen settings alone do not mean the item differs from the photos — please review all photos carefully and ask any questions before buying. One of a kind; once sold, there is no second one. Local pickup only. CA$280 OBO — serious offers welcome.
