Here's a spectacular Collection of Punch and Judy hand puppets. The set includes the characters: Mr Punch, Judy, The Baby (very rare!), Ghost (rare), Devil (rare), Hangman (bearded man with green hat), Husband, Pretty Polly, Black Boy (rare), King and Constable. All wooden heads are finely carved and beautifully hand painted. Their hands and legs are also made of wood and they have lovely fabric bodies. These toys are rare finds from an old hand puppet set created for children. They were made in Germany circa 1920-30s. Their structure is solid and displays well, but they show play wear, gained during almost 100 years of life. However their imperfections only give them an added layer of charm and personality. A nice patina of time that only early toys have. This great piece of history will certainly be a special addition to your antique toy collection!
