Toys TOYS

Jacko Monkey

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

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.

Marcus my brother soon got bored though so he joined my dolls. he went missing after my family moved, and i have set my 3 daughters the task of finding me one for christmas this year and I am 46 lol x

    This wouldn't be an investment for me! I was born in 1966, and I had 'Midge' my name for him. Mam and Dad getting older now, and are talking about days gone by. I remember 'Midge' been looking at old photographs of me as a little lad, holding onto him with every muscle and fear! Don't know where he went, I guess, I got to that age when Dad has to toughen you up! Midge was blue, with blue stripey arms. Weird, but at 44 I can tell you how he the smell from him, the feel of him, and how the cotton was thin, but well made! odd. Fingers crossed! One day - x x

    aw jacko monkey! easily my favourite toy! at age 10 thought i was to grown up to keep him anymore, so gave it to a neighbours child. 2 weeks later found jacko sticking out of their dustbin! I was heartbroken, and as much as i wanted to take it out of bin, didn't dare as thought neighbour would tell me off for stealing. how stupid was i! miss my monkey so much! heartbroken!
