Does anyone specialise in vintage Lady Penelope toys?
I ask because I imagine it to be quite tough to find them. I've never seen the elusive Sixties boxed JR21 tea set for instance. Come to think of it I've never seen any of the JR21 Penelope toys in the flesh.
Then of course there are the free gifts which came with the Penelope comic: bracelets and such. Are these the preserve of lady collectors or do they cross over into all Anderson collections and collecting?
I had the Fairylite Parker doll when I was a kid but not the Penelope doll, which my parents probably wouldn't have bought me because of defined gender lines around toys back then. According to my Folks, female dolls were for girls, pure and simple!
What is your experience readers? Have you come across any Lady Penelope toys?
