Antique MerrythoughtMohair Dog Pajama Bag (c1930's)This is the largest version of the dog... he measures approximately 22 inches (56cm) from tip of nose to end of tail.He is approximately 12 inches (30cm) at his widest point (rear leg to rear leg).This LARGE and wonderful mohair toy dog is the same size as a real puppy! Made by the well-known British teddy bear and plush toy company Merrythought (circa 1930s), the dog still has his original company label/tag attached. His luxurious cream-colored mohair fur with black spots (ears and tail) still covers his whole body. He has his original big brown glass eyes (missing one eye) and a dapper yellow ribbon bow around his neck.This clever toy doubles as a pajama bag for children's sleepovers; a sturdy metal zipper runs down the middle of the dog's belly, and inside is a space inside where the owner can stuff his or her pajamas for safekeeping. The inner pocket is lined with lovely yellowish/gold tone satin fabric. (The pocket is currently stuffed with old newspapers before I took my photos for the listing - the body looks a little "deflated" if there isn't something inside to fill up the space.) The head, legs, and hindquarters feel like they are firmly stuffed with wood wool.This wonderful historical toy will be one of the gems of your collection. It has so much character!CONDITION: This read more
