Emerald Museum & Nobelius Heritage ParkContainer - Monkey Pyjama Case, Joy-Toys, c. 1937
... Monkey Pyjama Case...This pyjama case was produced in the 1930s by Joy-Toys, an Australian toy company founded in South Yarra in the early 1920s. ...This pyjama case was produced in the 1930s by Joy-Toys, an Australian toy company founded in South Yarra in the early 1920s. ...This pyjama case was produced in the 1930s by Joy-Toys, an Australian toy company founded in South Yarra in the early 1920s. It was gifted to Elaine Morris (then Nobelius - the granddaughter of Carl Axel Nobelius) at an early - perhaps 3rd - birthday. Elaine was born in 1934, so it would have been gifted around 1937. Several other Joy-Toys monkeys were made with hands and feet, which might either have fallen off or been removed over the past century or which may not have been included on this model. Some other models of Joy-Toys monkeys were based on the characters of British illustrator Lawson Wood, who used a wide cast of monkeys and other animals in his work. The zipper was made in Australia by Lightning, indicating that the monkey's components were also likely made locally.This pyjama case belonged to a member of the Nobelius family, and reflects a style of toymaking that today is far out of fashion from a distinctive company that is no longer in business.The monkey has a hollow body, with the interior lined with orange satin fabric and closed by a zipper. The shape of the monkey is filled out by the case's intended purpose - storing pyjamas. The head is stuffed, and features a face made of felt molded over buckram, with painted features in red (mouth and nostrils) and black (closed eyelids and eyelashes). Outside of the face, the monkey is covered in synthetic brown 'fur'. It is possible that the monkey once had hands and feet which have since been removed or lost. The monkey's limbs and tails are also stuffed and separated from the hollow body. The head and arms of the monkey are on joints allowing them to rotate 360 degrees. The monkey also has small furless fabric ears. There is damage separating fabric at the right shoulder and at several points in the interior.Zipper Obverse: "LIGHTNING" Zipper Reverse: "AUST MADE / PATENTED" Inside Tag: "JOY-TOYS / MADE IN AUSTRALIA"elaine morris, nobelius family, elaine nobelius, toys, children -

The only tag we identified was only a size descriptor (size OS - Oversize), with no further writing to indicate brand or product name.

This is corroborated by the existence of advertising for this specific product from 1949, and its likely contemporaneity with VEMU2293 which has adverting from a similar time period. It was found in a Monkey Pyjama Case (VEMU2288) that belonged to Elaine, alongside several other items of clothing (VEMU2293-5). It was manufactured by the Sutex company, which had multiple manufacturing locations in Victoria - including Inglewood and Bendigo.This item belonged to a member of the Nobelius family and is a identifiable example of 1940s clothing.This item is a set of Sutex "Satinswade Pantees". The original advertisement describes them as follows: "Well cut, elastic at waist, cuff leg, in shades Peach and White. For excellent wearing." Seventy years later, this pair - the white version, though it now looks closer to cream - has suffered significant damage, with three large cuts from the waistline, significant staining, and holes from wear between the legs. It was size OS (Outsized).Tag: "Sutex / LUXURY LINGERIE / Satinswade / O.S"clothing, elaine nobelius, nobelius family, 1940s -
Emerald Museum & Nobelius Heritage ParkClothing - Peach Underwear Vest, Exacto, c. Mid-Late 1940s
... It was stored in a Monkey Pyjama Case (VEMU2288) along three other clothing items (VEMU2294-6)....It was stored in a Monkey Pyjama Case (VEMU2288) along three other clothing items (VEMU2294-6). ...This vest was likely owned by Elaine Morris (then Nobelius) sometime between the ages of 12 and 14; as she was born in 1934, this item was likely purchased in the mid-late 1940s. This estimation aligns with the existence of advertisements for this item - an Exacto brand, Mellowbloom line peach underwear vest - as early as 1949; it's possible the item existed before then so I am reluctant to date it to 1949, but its absence from advertising records suggest it may not have predated 1948-9 by much. It was stored in a Monkey Pyjama Case (VEMU2288) along three other clothing items (VEMU2294-6).This item belonged to a member of the Nobelius family and is a very well-preserved example of 1940s sleepwear.This item is a peach-coloured, knitwear vest in size OS (Outsized). It has a round neckline, lined by a strip of different, textured fabric in a slightly lighter shade, accompanied by a decorative knot in the same fabric. It has a tag at the bottom of the item on the rear. Tag, Centre: "MELLOWBLOOM / AN Exacto PRODUCT" Tag, Right Edge: "OS"clothing, 1940s, elaine nobelius, nobelius family -

Part of a pillow with check pillow case sits flat behind him and part of a wooden horizontal slat bedhead is seen. ...This photograph depicts a MDNS Sister visiting a male patient to give him nursing care. He is lying in bed in his home and the Sister is applying a bandage to his left wrist. Under her white gown the Sister is wearing the MDNS winter uniform of a grey dress with peaked collars and grey wool beret which has a central red Maltese cross attached. The Trained nurses (Nurses) of the Melbourne District Nursing Society (MDNS), from its inception in 1885, provided wound care to their patients who ranged in age from the very young to the elderly. The patients required their wounds to be dressed following various types of surgery, accidents, burns, cancer, leg ulcers etc. As research developed better products and dressing materials, the methods and medication applied to wounds changed. MDNS received Royal patronage in 1966 and as Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS), the Education department developed wound care programs, such as the Leg Ulcer Management Program to provide their Trained nurses (Sister) with methods of best quality care. They ran a program for Wound Care Specialists who made assessments and provided advice and support to the District Sisters working in the field as needed. The Sisters liaised with the patient’s Doctors and hospitals to provide information on the progress of patient’s wounds and to receive any change of wound care from the Doctors. Standing on the left of this photograph is a Melbourne District Nursing Service (MDNS) Sister who is wearing a white gown over her grey uniform, the collar of which can be seen. She is wearing her uniform grey wool beret over her short dark curly hair and is smiling as, with her outstretched left hand, she supports the partly bandaged extended left arm of a gentleman who is sitting up in bed to her right; his right arm is resting on the bed and supporting him as he is partly turned towards the Sister. She has part of a rolled bandage in her right hand. The male patient, who has short dark hair, is looking at the camera and smiling. He is wearing a white and striped pyjama top and his lower body is covered by a patterned bed cover. Part of a pillow with check pillow case sits flat behind him and part of a wooden horizontal slat bedhead is seen. On the wall behind the bed hangs a framed photograph of a couple on their wedding day. Patterned curtains cover the window in the left rear of the photograph.John Gallagher photography. 4 Benares Street, Mitcham Victoria WU 2568 No. 4-4melbourne district nursing service, mdns, mdns wound care, royal district nursing service, rdns -
