Vintage Gabrielle Designs Paddington Bear Hand Puppet Early Red Label/Pre Design Registration Vintage Paddington Bear hand puppet produced by Gabrielle Designs. This example has a red Gabrielle Designs label inside the puppet, and the original swing tag includes the wording “Darkest Peru to London, England via Paddington Stn” and “Design Registration Applied For,” consistent with early production. Paddington is dressed in his original brown felt duffle-style coat with wooden-style toggle fastenings and a fixed hood, and wears his original orange felt hat secured with a safety pin. A desirable piece for collectors of Paddington Bear and British character toys. ConditionGood vintage condition overall. The plush is clean and even with no bald patches. The felt duffle coat shows light handling wear consistent with age, with some surface marks visible to the back of the coat, as shown in the photographs. The orange felt hat remains intact with good colour. Labels and swing tag are present and legible. Overall wear is in keeping with a toy of this age and type. DimensionsH: 30 cm x L: 26 cm x W: 11 cm (head) EraLate 1960s to early 1970s
