description Pelham Puppets Mouse Overview
Pelham Puppets Mouse is a wooden string marionette made as part of the British toy maker's animal-puppet range. Pelham Puppets was founded in 1947 and became associated with commercially produced toy marionettes in the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century. The mouse is suspended and controlled through strings and a handheld control, so it belongs to the marionette tradition rather than the hand-puppet category. Individual examples may vary in paint, clothing, labels, and fittings because the company produced models across different periods.
