Vintage Chad Valley PG Tips Jacko chimpanzee


From the 1971 Tour De France TV advert for PG Tips tea

He has a rubber face, hands and shoes
He has black fur head, arms and legs
He is wearing a cotton striped shirt, shorts and cap
The cap can be removed
The shorts and shirt cannot

His hands have metal in them so they bend to make him able to hang or grip onto things

All the rubber is in good condition along with his fur
His eyes open and close and he has all of his eyelashes

Upon opening the new building was named the 'Chad Valley Works', reflecting its site in the valley of the River Chad.

The Johnsons soon adopted this as a their main marque.

Raw materials were delivered to Harborne by train, with most of the factory's output leaving by the same route. Such were the volumes handled that the branch line and goods yard were retained in the 1950s when passenger trains were withdrawn.
