Description :
Enigmatic Keepsake: The Lucky Monkey From Grandma Ginny The Monkey Story and History! …it was my grandmother, Ginny’s favorite. She loved monkeys—said they were clever souls trapped in little furry bodies. This one, she claimed, came from the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. It had been tucked into a steamer trunk by a suitor from the East that she never named. She swore it brought luck, love, and mischief in equal measure. It sat on her dressing table for nearly a century, watching, listening. Who knows what secrets it holds or what it might bring you! This stuffed monkey doll is
dressed entirely in red fabric, including a stitched hat, tailored jumpsuit,
and matching limbs. The facial details are sewn with basic black thread,
forming wide eyes and a faint smile typical of handcrafted or early
mass-produced toys. The tail is curled, structurally rigid, and attached to the
lower seam. Its faded colors and simplified stitching suggest 1950s to 1970s
origins. The doll reflects a playful post-war era aesthetic, with a body style
reminiscent of shelf mascots and nursery decor of the time. 1950s–1970s. Plush animal figures
with human-like accessories gained popularity as home ornaments and children’s
comfort items after World War II. This monkey exemplifies the whimsical design
approach favored by mid-century crafters and factories aiming for cheerful
postwar domestic charm. Measurements: 13 1/2" Body Length, 20" with the tail x 7"W
