EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and intricately crafted knitted Concertina Man with his monkey companion is a delightful example of the creative and whimsical toys popular during the 1930s. The Concertina Man, also known as a folding or accordion doll, is a clever little toy that can be easily carried around and unfolded to reveal a hidden character or scene. The use of wool for this handmade toy adds a warm and homely touch, making it a perfect addition to any family's collection. The Concertina Man's expressive woolen face and the mischievous grin on the monkey's face add to the toy's odd, yet endearing, charm. The monkey perched on the man's shoulder adds an extra layer of fun and playfulness to this unique toy. Knitted toys were a popular choice for homemade Christmas presents during the 1930s, as they were relatively easy to make and required minimal resources. The Concertina Man is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of crafters during this era, who found joy in creating one-of-a-kind toys for their loved ones. This vintage photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, when handmade toys brought hours of entertainment and joy to families. The Concertina Man and his monkey companion are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and are a reminder of the odd, weird, and strange treasures that can be found in the annals of history.
