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.

    Jacko Monkey is a very special part of our family! He's been with us for almost 40 years, is on his third or fourth wig, countless repairs where his stuffing has come adrift, eyelashed gone, one eye stuck up in his head, several fingers missing, little rosy cheeks now pale and mucky from being chewed. He is very special and very much loved. anyone not knowing his charm and how much he means to us all might think he's just a dirty, scraggy old toy but we like to say that he's mature and glowing with a patina of love ;-) Long live Jackos everywhere.

    Hello all i had a jacko monkey when i was about 9 years old i am now 51 so i would have got him new in 1967 - 1968. Please could anyone tell me the colour of cloths my jacko would have been wearing i know it would have been blue and white stripped or red and white stripped. I moved home and not sure what happened to my jacko.
