Product Description
A delightful 1930s Cadbury Cococub Peter Penguin lead figure, beautifully hand painted with the distinctive character and charm that made this advertising series so popular. Dressed in red trousers, jacket, tuxedo shirt and bow tie, Peter Penguin is a wonderful example of the imaginative miniature figures created for Cadbury’s Coco Cubs collection.
Designed by illustrator Ernest Aris, the Coco Cubs combined storytelling, character design and chocolate advertising to create memorable figures that have become highly sought after by collectors. Originally associated with Cadbury cocoa products, these miniature lead characters now hold a special place in British advertising and toy collecting history.
With his expressive detailing and unmistakable personality, Peter Penguin makes a fascinating addition to Cadbury memorabilia collections, vintage toy displays or anyone drawn to nostalgic pieces of British design history.
A much loved character that captures the fun and imagination of vintage Cadbury collectibles.
