Here's a charming antique CONSTABLE hand puppet toy. He is a character from an old Punch & Judy Show designed for children. This puppet is nicely carved and beautifully hand painted. Notice his expressive decal eyes. He has a fabric body with wooden hands and legs. He is from German origin, likely made in the early/mid 1900s. His structure is solid and displays well but he shows some wear, gained during his many years of life. However his imperfections give him an added layer of personality that only early toys have. Note that the piece of wood used for the head has some natural dark lines. This great piece of history will certainly be a special addition to your old toy collection!
