A rare, Merrythought Winnie the Pooh nightwear case, only made for a limited time between 1967 and 1968. Based on one of the characters in A.A.Milne’s iconic Christopher Robin stories, Pooh is accompanied by Eeyore the donkey, also made by Merrythought – in 1966 when the Disney film was released. Eeyore has his registered design label, but more importantly his detachable tail, which he famously loses.
Pooh
Pooh is all original and measures 50 cms (20″) tall. He’s fully-jointed and soft-stuffed, and has amber lock-in safety eyes and a black embroidered nose and mouth. His pads are made of brushed cotton. Although his footlabel is missing, the sewn outline is there, including a teeny fragment of label.
One of Pooh’s ears has been re-attached, otherwise he’s in very good condition having kept virtually all of his gorgeous gold mohair. His quilted nightwear case is like new, and closes with a metal zip. For the purposes of photography, I’ve added some stuffing to fill out his impressive pot belly!
Eeyore
This lovely old donkey is unjointed and stands 20 cms (8″) high, and 31 cms (12″) long from nose to tail. He’s also soft-stuffed, and his legs are internally wired. Eeyore’s tail is attached to him by way of a metal press stud. However, he’s missing his right eye.
Eeyore has embroidered features and pink furry lined floppy ears. In overall good condition, his grey mohair is plentiful, though shows some overall thinning. His tail is fairly bald – probably due to being used as a bell pull, as per the story!
Together, Pooh and Eeyore are very engaging characters. Thanks for looking.
