Heather has a rather old (senior) moth eaten one from her infanthood who has resided on our bed since marriage 41 years ago.
Neither he nor I seemed to have suffered any ill/after effects, but Heather well that's a tale for another day....
I had one too as a child. If I remember correctly mine had a green jacket. Would have gone nicely on my green Mog with its - am I allowed to say or not "black" wire wheels?!
