Rare and unusual Ealontoys soft toy dog pyjama/nightdress case with the original label and battery operated Sparklight eyes dating to the 1940’s.
Ealontoys was set up by Emily Pankhurst in the 1920’s and traded until the1950’s so there is a nice suffragette movement connection to this dog too.
This unusual and rare soft toy pyjama case dog dates to the 1940’s and has the original card label attached which reads ‘ EALONTOYS – MADE IN ENGLAND – “SPARKLIGHT” PATENT APPLIED FOR No. 20560’
The sparklight dog has battery operated light up plastic eyes which no longer work as there is no battery connected and the wires are corroded and there is also a bakelite switch attached to the wires as you can see in the photos.
The dog measures 16″ long and is in good condition with all the original features intact and has a good coverage of white mohair plush with black mohair ears. There is some thinning and bare areas which are not to noticeable against the white backing fabric but I would estimate it has retained a good 80% coverage overall. The salmon pink silk lining has been stained by the rusting wires but is otherwise undamaged with no holes or tears and there is a little pocket for a battery to sit in too. This is a very rare dog with the original label and light up eyes feature and would make a wonderful addition to any collection of ealry vintage soft toys. The other dog is in comparable condition and alsohas the label and I will be listing it at a later date or I am happy to negotiate to keep the two together.
Please view the photos, which can be enlarged, to assess the condition
for yourselves and I am happy to answer any of your questions.
Being offered with a very low starting price and no reserve to the highest bidder.
Please take a look at my other items and I am happy to combine postage costs where possible.
