Summary
A Sindy standing hairdryer, battery operated. It has a cream plastic base with a yellow plastic chair and stand attached. Under the chair is a panel (with a switch) that can be removed - this is where the batteries go. There is a yellow cloth tab to allow for easy removal of the batteries (batteries not included). The stand also has a cream plastic push switch at the base. Attached to the top of the stand by a metal screw is the dryer hood. It can be adjusted. The dryer hood is yellow plastic with a white plastic rim and an 'S' Sindy moulded detail. Inside the hood is a white plastic fan and slatted cover. Wires run from the battery compartment, up the inside of the stand to the fan.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Joanne Armstrong in November 2010.
