FOUND AT A COLLECTORS HOME MANY YEARS AGO. THIS PUPPET IS ONE OF A KIND AND QUITE THE FIND.HAND MADE . HIS BODY IS WOODEN .

HISHEAD MOVES AND TURNS,STRINGS ARE ATTACHED TO HIS MOUTH WHICH IS JOINTED.. AND IT APPEAR TO BE PAPER MACHE. I AM UNSURE. HIS ARMS, LEGS CAN BE MOVED BY PULLING A STRING.I HAVE NOT PULLED ON THE STRINGS A LOT BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BREAK ANY OF THE STRINGS I HAVE NO IDEA OF HIS MAKER. I WAS TOLD HE CAME FROM NEW YORK.

HE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. MAKE UP IN GREAT CONDITION. HIS COAT IS MADE OFVELVETEEN OR SOMETHING LIKE VELVET. I DO NOT SEE ANY TEARS OR HOLES. PART OF THE RIBBON IN FRONT IS MISSING. HAS VERY NICE BOTTONS. NICE -WIG -IS GLUED ON HIS HEAD AND WIG LOOKS LIKE HUMAN HAIR.HIS FINGERS ARE ALL IN GOOD CONDITION BUT ONE NEEDS A LITTLE PAINT BUT IT IS NOT BROKEN. THE COAT AND HIS PANTS NEED TO BE CLEANED.HIS WAIST IS JOINTED AND IS MADE TO TAKE A BOW ON STAGE.

THERE IS A ROD THAT GOES UP INSIDE OF THE PUPPET. IT WAS MADE TOFIT INTO A TRACK SO THE PUPPET CAN MOVE ABOUT ON A STAGE. ECT. HE IS APPROX. 25 1/2 INCHES TALL AND WITH THE ROD HE IS 31 1/2 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHS ABOUT 5 POUNDS.JUST A WONDERFUL- WONDERFUL AND RAREANTIQUE PUPPET AND CERTAINLY ONE OF A KIND. HE IS VERY OLD IN MY OPINION AND DESERVES A SPECIAL HOME.
