No Punch and Judy show is complete without the iconic Crocodile! And this eye-catching 1960s hand puppet Crocodile is something you won't want to miss! Crafted in Germany by Decor-Spielzeug, it features a very expressive carved and hand-painted wooden head built in such way that allows the mouth to open and close. The body is made from cotton fabric. The company was founded in 1957 and distinguished itself as the first "workshop for people with disabilities" in the area. Like this vintage hand puppet, much of its early production was inspired by Waldorf's educational toys developed in the 1920s. Sold by prestigious Swiss Toy Shop Franz Carl Weber, these wooden toys are special playful collectibles. Little Crocodile is 13in (33cm) long and is in good vintage condition with some scuffs to the head and discoloration/marks to the fabric body. Please note that tacks attach the head to the body. Don't miss the opportunity to include this charming hand made puppet to your vintage collection today!
