Jacko Monkey was a gorgeous monkey that was made by Chad Valley I think. It was easily one of my favourite toys in the early 70's and I still have two of them!
Jacko Monkey had plastic hands and feet and wore a stripey tee-shirt and trousers. His arms were above his head like he was swinging from a tree or something.

Please can any one answer my question, I had a Jacko Monkey approx 1959 - 1961 year of manufacture. I recall it having red trousers and a red and white striped top. If my memory serves me right it also had red sleeves on the top. The only photos I can find are blue and yellow sleeves. The Jacko I owned had his arms upright. Also if anyone has one for sale please can you let me know.

I still have my Jacko - he had red trousers and red top, one ear has been partly sewn back on and he only has one eye because my sister poked it out with fork! I loved him dearly and I will never part with him.

Just got a Jacko from ebay, but when I opened the parcel I was convinced the one my brother used to have in the late 60s early 70s was bigger. This one stands 19" tall. Was there a taller/bigger one?

My sister and I had one each and we loved them. Both were called Billy Simmons but had different middle names 'Archibald' and 'Sylvester'. We have years of happy memories playing with them as children. They spent years together on our dear Mum's spare bed when we grew up and when she sadly past a few years ago my sister and I have them back and they live in our own houses now on our own spare beds. Very happy memories for Lorna and Cathy xx
