LADY PENELOPE DRESSING TABLE SET: WAS IT A TOY?


This is the JR21 Dressing Table set from their Lady Penelope range in the mid-Sixties.

This pic is from an auction.

The items look like basic stuff: brush, mirror, comb and a powder-puff?

Are they toys or real adult items?

Where these commercially available as separate adult hairdressing items in normal shop? Where they sold in the hairdressing and beauty sections of general stores?

Anyone got any of these?

  1. I'd assume that they were real, but maybe kid-sized - and probably made specially as Lady Penelope merchandise. Don't know for sure though.

  2. Deffo toys Woodsy. The set is quite small, and so are the items inside.

    1. Really Arto, quite small? They have always looked big to me in pictures. Fascinating.

  3. Checked the measurements, 22 x 18 cm, so I am not so sure anymore. However for me the set has always come across as a toy item.

    1. I'm sure youre right Arto. I get obsessed with the possibility of finding JR21 toys in other stuff like adult hair sets! Have you gt the jewelry set?
