PenDelfin Old Meg & Daisy Duck Up For Sale
Today, Wednesday 3rd September, probably one of the rarest PenDelfin items came on sale, a PenDelfin Old Meg Plaque. Byrne’s Auctioneers & Valuers in Chester held a Collectors Sale which featured just 21 lots of PenDelfin. Within those 21 lots was an Old Meg Wall Plaque and a Daisy Duck!
The Old Meg plaque was designed by PenDelfin founder Jean Walmsley Heap and only produced for around a year, from 1953 to 1954. I’ve never seen one of these and unfortunately couldn’t make the sale today so didn’t even get to see it today! It’s not a very attractive or typical piece of PenDelfin and not everybody would want one in their collection but given the choice I would!
Daisy Duck on the other hand is a must for any PenDelfin collector. Also designed by Jean Walmsley Heap she was only produced for 3 years from 1955 to 1958. A cute yellow duck with bonnet, she stands perfectly next to her companion Desmond Duck!
As I said, unfortunately I couldn’t make the sale so missed seeing this classic pieces. If you went please do drop us a line and let us know what they were like and what kind of condition they were in. It’s always nice to hear about these things.
