Not sure what to ask for wooden string puppet
« on: August 07, 2011, 10:04:59 am »
My wife found this one yesterday. Picked it up for $3.00 I can only find one that sold at the end of 2010, but does not say what it sold for.
This one is made for fairyland international inc. Any help would be great. Thanx

   Don't know much about puppets, but is it made of Wood?  The fabric looks polyester or more of a modern cloth.  This might help to date this.

I'm afraid it looks modern to me too, with modern fabrics and I think those are decals on the eyes. They still make wooden puppets in Mexico I think, (not sure about that) you might look under the clothes and on the bottoms of the feet to see if there is any kind of mark.

Beat me to that talesof.  Looks modern (within past 20+ years) and gotta admit....wouldn't buy that to entertain kids with that sign language gesture!  LOL
