This is one Century 21 toy set I've seen in the flesh.
The Lady Penelope Tea Set.
Aimed predominantly at girls reading the Lady Penelope comic, it came complete with the iconic tea pot and round table mats, which appear to be card.
I don't know about Lady Penelope readers. I think TV21 readers like me would have liked a cup of tea!
Anyone got this set for some close-up shots for the blog?
Its windy so My internets down but at least the mobile works.i keep seeing silver plated versions of this teapot in antique shops! Maybe one is the one from the show! Yus milady!
ReplyDeleteAnother C21 tie-in I was unaware of - how cool for the girls! I bet somebody somewhere has put together a database of all the C21 merchandising items. There must be tons! Just yesterday I saw a Zero-X shampoo bottle for auction on eBay!
ReplyDeleteI know Zigg! cool for tea drinkers! The best guide to C21 toys in Dennis Nicholson's 1995 Guide book to Gerry Anderson Collectables, sadly out of print. I got one at the time and its been a godsend ever since.
