See more about 'RUSHTON ZIP ZIPPY RUBBER FACE MONKEY CHIMP HOWDY DOODY ' Description This auction is for the most popular of Rushtons' pets as shown on his T-shirt, he is Zip the Monkey. He is 16" tall, wears his red corduroy overalls with green buttons, yellow Tee, the high-top baby shoes with the Rushton signature on the bottom and I made him a replica beanie.  His squeeker in his left arm still sounds loud and clear.  His black fur is clean with no oders and rubber parts without chews or marks. Zippy earned his fame as a live monkey on the Howdy Doody Show but his behavior got to be out of control so he was kicked off. I think he did better on the  Dave Garraway Show! I have been selling on Ebay about 8 years and have heard wonderful stories about Zippy and the companionship he brought to his young owners..I especially loved the tale of one young man  that used him for his Best Man at his wedding!  After all it was his life-long friend. From past experience prices on Zip sky-rocket closer to Christmas..you may want to consider this. Thanks so much for your time and please email questions important to you.!  Shipping internationally will have to be calculated!     Place a Bid!
