Roddy doll made in the1960s

This is an example of the Roddy plastic doll made in England in 1960s. This doll portrays a royal guard of  Buckingham Palace wearing  a white tall beaver hat. Although this doll  is a souvenir doll it has been made as a child's toy. Doll stands  42 cm tall.
A  common problem with this type of Roddy doll is  that eyes come loose in the head.
