It’s hard to find the earliest Sindy items in Sweden and I just follow the text in the Pedigree Brochures as well as checking with collector friends for the correct information.
But when it comes to information about Sindy, Ann Jalili (whom I’m happy to call my friend) & Kathleen Weatherhead have created the very informative and well-known website Our Sindy Museum. And that’s the place to visit to find the best written word and the facts about Sindy! So please click on oursindymuseum to learn more about all the differences when it comes to the bed!
TLSM was contacted by Joanne Burrows about her headboard with silver cherubs, instead of gold. She says:
“I bought the silver headboard years ago in a job lot of Sindy items. It was attached to the wrong bed base (a modern Sindy bed base) so I took it off and when I did the clips which hold it in place broke off (it looks like they had been broken and previously and badly glued). I didn’t realise it was rare until I looked on your website.
I live in the south of England where there are lots of yachts and boat repairers near me and I bought white ultra high tech plastic weld to weld them back into place (this is weld which is used for marine repairs and soooooo strong). The clips are now back to perfect – strong and attached. You can’t even see they have been broken.
I have it on its original bed now (bed with the castors) and a fabric Dunlopillo mattress with the quilt with five layers of lace and cotton pillow and sheets.”
It’s hard to know when this silver variation was made. When reading about this first Sindy bed from 1966 on oursindymuseum it seems like it probably is a later edition but what year is hard to tell… They write: “The headboard was updated and was even more flashier than the first edition. The cherub pattern was engraved on this version and the grooves generously debossed with gold paint.”
Thank you truly Jo, for sharing your amazing Sindy Silver Headboard!
