Bambi night-light
made in Melbourne, Australia 1959
This fantastic nursery night-light- featuring Bambi, his mother and bluebirds -was made by Pan Pacific Plastics in Melbourne in the late 50s. Pan Pacific Plastic originally made dolls but in the 50s moved to making night- lights with themes drawing from Walt Disney or nursery rhymes. Night-lights are trending right now, and are very collectible; and Bambis even more so.
The night-light is in excellent working order, and uses a 15 watt lamp and AC/DC power. The bulb is the same one used for pilot lights in fridges – so readily available.
The Bambi night-light is for sale: $AUD75
Awwww that’s adorable
thanks- he is kinda cute!
You know I used to think that Bambi was a girl because to be honest he had really feminine looks as a kid, I must have forgotten the part in the movie when he marries a girl 😂😂😂😂 anyway so my friend told me that Bambi was a boy, not a girl😌😌
The wordpress people should introduce a second like button. Like in the sense of not really… 🙂
ha! what about a button -just for you- the so-horrible-it’s-wonderful button?
Indeed, some things are so horrible they are wonderful again (in a way). There is a quality (or at least a fun-factor) of trashiness. Some very bad films turn into cult, for example. This bambi night light is hard to improve, maybe it could be blinking, with some melody? 🙂
