The first patented roller skate was introduced in 1760 by Belgian inventor
John Joseph Merlin. His roller skate wasn't much more than an ice skate with
wheels where the blade goes, a style we would call inline today. They were hard
to steer and hard to stop because they didn't have brakes and, as such, were
not very popular. Since this time Roller Skates have become a fun sport in the
Roller Derby sport, where women lace up and race each other! Take this retro
roller skating monkey to your next derby event!

The purchase of this listing is for one sock monkey with the following
specifications:

Style: Retro Roller Skates Sock Monkey

Measurements: 26 inches tall

Weight: 9 ounces

Colors: White, Blue, Gold, and Black

Each of these handmade sock monkeys meets all CPSC Safety Requirements for
children age 3+.

This roller sock monkey is handmade in my smoke free studio using Socksmith
Brand Knee Hight Knit Socks embellished with winged roller skates. Each blue
sock monkey features orange button eyes, white stitched felt, hypoallergenic
fiberfill, and a removable double knotted black ribbon around his neck. I
recommend spot cleaning your new sock monkey but he can also be hand washed
with a mild detergent and allowed to air dry. Gentle stain remover can be used
if needed. If you would like to continue to shop for more unique stuffed
