Vintage Pelham Puppet ‘Dutch Girl’ Marionette in Original Box

This delightful vintage Pelham Puppet 'Dutch Girl' string marionette comes in its original vibrant yellow box, offering a nostalgic glimpse into classic British toy manufacturing. The puppet features a blonde-haired doll with painted blue eyes and rosy cheeks, dressed in a traditional Dutch-inspired outfit, complete with a green hat, a green embroidered vest, a white blouse, and a floral skirt. Her wooden control bar and strings are intact, ready for manipulation. The bright yellow cardboard box, which has a clear cellophane window, prominently displays the 'Pelham Puppets' logo and charming illustrations of other puppet characters on the reverse side. Made in Marlborough, Wilts, this hand-made string puppet is accompanied by illustrated instructions inside the box, a testament to its authenticity. While the box shows some expected age-related wear, the puppet itself appears well-preserved, making it an excellent find for collectors or a charming decorative piece for a child's room or a vintage display in a living area.
