Q A
Zebedee I have a Zebedee hand puppet in a yellow decorated box. It’s in great condition, as is the packaging. It’s pretty zany and great fun. I don’t think I will sell, but would love to know more and wonder what he is worth. Susan Roberts, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear Boing! Zebedee was a telly favourite from kids’ TV show The Magic Roundabout back in the 1960s and yours looks to be in great condition. These toys have become quite hard to find and I’d say it is worth Roundabout – sorry, I couldn’t help that – £100 to £150. They were made by Pelham Puppets, which was founded in 1947 by an ex-serviceman. There were over 500 different toys and the rarer blue-labelled Pelhams (called Wonky Toys) were the first made and are most sought-after.
