1970s Elephant Bean Bag Out of Hibernation After More Than 40 years!
$20
Emerging from its ‘time capsule’ of more than 40 years this bean bag is ready to show the other bean bags on the block how it’s done, 1970s style.
This vintage 1970s elephant bean bag has been carefully stored in a plastic bag since the early 1980s.
Since then the basic features of a bean bag haven’t changed much…but what makes this one stand out is the superior South Australian craftsmanship…stitched together well and still plenty of life left in it.
It also features a unique elephant design, including a trunk, ears, 2 legs and cute googly eyes,. This is complemented by a beige coloured vinyl, which features a paisley pattern.
It’s still looking good for it’s age, with only a couple of slight marks as shown in the last 2 photos. One shows slight marks on the vinyl near the tag on the bottom of the bean bag (not visible when in use) and the other shows a slight mark on the inside of one of the arms (only noticeable when looking closely in good lighting).
Approximate Measurements:
80 cm across
75 cm front to back
