Any Idea of the value of this?

Well done, it seems like you have found a rare gem. Best of luck whatever you decide to do with it.

Actually looking at the OP's post further I'd say that the models and the box are one item (the Christies item) and the Ilford page is separate, probably some sort of commemorative picture put out by Ilford to mark the same event.

Might be worth splitting them up as they belong in two separate collectors areas, up to the OP really best get it valued and see what the auctioneers say.

Most local auctioneers have free valuation days, just keep an eye out in your local paper or contact them direct.

Yes, good luck!

I think sometimes it's better to keep a lovely object, especially if it has a family connection, than to have the money.

Thanks everyone
I tried looking it up on the internet, but couldn't even find anything out about the two chimps, let alone the actual item!
What a nice surprise , I wasn't expecting it to be worth much at all.
