PELHAM PUPPET "THE DOG" (Boxed).
(Pelham Puppets were simple wooden marionette puppets made in England by Bob Pelham (1919–1980), starting in 1947. While mainly known for making marionettes, his company also manufactured glove puppets, rod puppets and ventriloquist puppets. The company ceased to trade in 1993 and some of its products became collectable.
Bob Pelham initially started the company as Wonky Toys Ltd on 20 May 1947.[1] The name came from Bob's Second World War military nickname, when he was known as "The Wonky Donkey Officer" as he made small toy donkeys. The company originally started making "Waloukas", simple wooden toys held together with string.[2] Bob then moved on to making marionettes to sell to children, a new direction as previously marionettes had only been made for professionals. On 14 October 1948 the company changed its name to Pelham Puppets to reflect the change in focus)
