A very rare Steiff rod jointed Monkey 35PPB with elephant button, with brown mohair, black boot button eyes, inset velvet face, ear, hands and feet, black cross stitched nostrils, slightly raised nose, a red painted seam for mouth, central seam from face down back of head, rod jointed mechanism comprising two short rods from limb to limb, wires down the limbs to the hands and feet and a rod looped around the arm joint going into the head, velvet hands with stitched fingers and separate thumbs and a very rare elephant button in the left ear with S shaped trunk -14in. (36cm.) height seated, 24in. (61cm.) overall length (missing right ear, right arm cleanly broken through at elbow and patched, holes and protruding wire through hands and feet, some balding areas, general wear and fading) Notes - his head mechanism is intriguing as the head goes significantly backwards and forwards in a valley, his arm joint is much high than on the Rod Bears, so the loop of the neck joint is much higher. It would appear that has been made so the head rocks backwards and forwards, but it is possible that this valley and movements has caused over time. Provenance - Monkey belonged to the vendor’s Grandfather James Kay Harrison who was a born and bred Lancastrian, growing up near lake Windermere. James was born in 1901 and was an only child so it is assumed Monkey was a present from his parents. He founded Abinger Preparatory School in Abinger Hammer in Surrey which he took to Canada during the 2nd World War, returning later to Cumbria. Monkey has always just been called Monkey, not very imaginative but it suits him. Monkey always sat in the vendor’s Grandfather's study and the various children were allowed to play with him now and then when staying with them. James Harrison had two children, six grandchildren, and monkey has been involved with over a hundred years of play. He is sold with two JPEG images, one of James as a young boy wearing a dress and the other of his grandchildren in the 1960s with Monkey in a cart
