Vintage Plush Toy Monkey Rubber Face White Fur Wire Arms Mid Century Happy Large Mr Bim Zippy on sale Rushton Style Chimp
This guy has been hanging around my house for at least a couple of decades. I found him at a sale and fell in love with him. Time to let him move on to a new owner. He has no marks but has a Rushton style. Many companies made these back in the day. He is a large size white faux fur monkey or chimp with a rubber face, hands and shoes. It is not a bright white but more of a soft white. The arms have a metal wire or something in them giving them some tension when pulled together. His face is so cute, a happy chimp. I have not seen too many of the white "fur" monkeys.
Measures about 26 inches long
Condition- His "fur" in in very good condition, still nice and thick, a little compressed from years of storage. In places the "'fur" looks slightly darker, assuming it is light soiling. He is firmly stuffed. The rubber face is in very good condition, ears are attached firmly, painted face is great, There is only one area, his upper lip that is missing some white paint. His hands are nice, just a little soiling here and there, which may come off with more attention. His shoes also have some minor light soiling, especially on the bottoms. His yellow satin ribbon, which may be original, has some frays but not bad. Please view all photos for more on sale info on this chimp.
