Kay Casey (1952 – 2014)

Bamfords are delighted to be selling this incredible collection of rare and unusual Pelham Puppets collected over thirty years on behalf of the estate of Kay Casey.

Kay originally collected tin-plate toys especially Bing clockwork trains but in the early 90's these were getting harder to find and so after seeing an SS Mitzi at a toy fair in Doncaster, her first purchase was made and it was then that her passion for Pelham Puppets was fired.

Over the next few years it became her main focus and the collection grew, grew and grew - she loved the large display puppets and along with her husband Colin, they travelled many thousands of miles on the hunt to for that elusive and rare puppet.

Collecting them was like a military operation, with calls being made and taken every day, and a calendar full of possible sources covering the whole the UK and abroad.

Kay became friends with many dealers and collectors throughout the world through her love for Pelham Puppets, and in fact her all time best friend was introduced through Pelham Puppet collecting.

In 1997, their website, http://www.ppo.co.uk (Pelham Puppets Online) was formed and it still holds the most information on the Pelham Puppet legacy today.

In 2002, a purpose Puppet Room was built in her home to display her now huge collection, which was a wonder to behold.

The Caseys certainly collected things they loved and their house was a true story to their devotion and to the very meaning of a Collection.

Sadly Kay passed away in 2014 and we dedicate this sale to her memory.

Pelham Puppets

When Bob Pelham started his business in 1947 of making marionette puppets for children his father said “If you make this business work , pigs will fly”(sic).He certainly did manage to make pigs fly, along with dragons, mules, clowns and over a thousand other characters . His simple marionette puppets were born in the post war years of austerity but his hand made simple puppets painted in bright colours , made from recycled materials won the hearts of generations of children.

There are numerous milestones in the history of Pelham Puppets, with the first being the production of Sandy McBoozle on the 22nd June 1947. Packaging and characters were developed in tandem , with new characters being introduced to meet the demands of the growing worldwide audience during the 1960s and 1970s.

In 1953 the company secured the right to manufacture Disney characters and Pinnochio became the most popular of the characters they produced.

Bob Pelham died in 1980, but the production of his puppets continued until 1993, seeing an excess of 9 million being produced from his initial concept .A fantastic legacy, with each puppet encapsulating one man’s dream of providing high quality affordable toys for generations of children.

There are many ranges in Pelham Puppets but the main ones are • • • • • • • • • •

The LS range 12 inch puppets with half wooden ball feet, wooden heads and waxed string holding the parts together.

The SS range, similar to the LS range but with wooden toggle feet and screw eyes holding the body together.

The SL range, usually with moulded heads and either held together with string or screw eyes.

The SM range with moving mouths usually made from larger wooden balls for heads but some have moulded heads.

The JC range, a smaller simpler puppet for younger children.

The Jumpette range, a smallr puppet for infants and toddlers.

The A or Animal usually non anthropomorphic versions of animals.

The Minipup a range of smaller animal puppets.

The WH range, same size puppets as junior control Pelham puppets except these tended to have larger heads and were the first Pelham puppets to have printed faces.

The Vent range, a simple ventriloquist puppet range of Pelham puppets made from 1968 onwards.
