This Pelham Puppet Gypsy is in the shop for £18 it's one of the later puppets from the 1980's and in great condition. The Gypsy is a common puppet and can be found with a black or red skirt. The early Gypsy puppets were similar with hooped earrings and a headscarf.
I always try to have puppets that range in prices and styles. Collecting Pelham Puppets is a very variable past time, some collectors only like certain characters or eras. You could decide to collect just Clowns or the 1963 Animal range of dressed figures, or Witches or TV characters, the list of possibilities is endless which is why it's such a popular subject for collectors. The popularity seems to be growing with young collectors starting out and seasoned collectors keen to add to their ever growing acquisitions.
I hope you all have a relaxing Bank Holiday with some time to browse the shop pages. If you have any friends who like Vintage things, let them know about the Vintage Bazaar that I have alongside the puppets, it's a fun page of things I find on my travels.
