help Pelham Puppets SL Wolf FAQ

What is a Pelham Puppets SL Wolf?

It is a wooden string puppet, or marionette, from the SL series made by the British company Pelham Puppets. The wolf is operated by a control and strings rather than posed like a hand puppet.

Who made the Pelham Puppets SL Wolf?

Pelham Puppets was founded by Bob Pelham, and the company became known for character and animal marionettes. The SL Wolf belongs to that British maker's SL range, so its label, controller, paint, and box can help identify an example.

What does SL mean on a Pelham puppet?

SL is the model-series mark used for this Pelham range, rather than the name of a separate animal or character. Collectors usually read it together with 'Wolf' and inspect the maker's markings because condition and original parts vary between surviving puppets.

Is a Pelham SL Wolf suitable for a child to play with?

It is a wooden marionette with strings and a controller, so it needs more careful handling than a soft toy. Check the strings, joints, controller, and wood before use because missing or brittle parts affect whether a particular SL Wolf is suitable.
