This is a charming circa 1980s Boots lion hand puppet, fully made in Britain and full of that nostalgic character you get with early Boots nursery toys. It has a soft plush body, a terry cloth striped top, pale blue trousers and an embroidered face with a fluffy mane — all classic details from this era of British-made children’s toys.
The puppet is in good condition with expected wear due to age, and it has been left unwashed to preserve its original texture and finish. It’s a lovely piece for collectors of vintage British toys, retro nursery items or soft hand puppets with character. It also displays beautifully.
Approximate dimensions: 24 x 18 x 2cm.
