Admire this remarkable version of the classic characters Punch and Judy! These hand puppets have beautiful hand painted facial expressions and eye-catching costumes. The attention to every detail is amazing. Their heads and hands are made from an early type of moulded plastic/composition. They are marked Anna Marita, Welbeck. I believe they were produced in England circa mid 1900s. Please note that the composition has cracked and deformed in some parts. It seemed to have melted due to heat, particularly on the hands and necks, making it challenging to manipulate them. Though it shows age and wear, the visual quality of these puppets stands out and their imperfections become secondary. Perfect for display, these special puppets will be an extraordinary addition to your vintage collection!
- Condition: Used and pre-owned vintage puppets. Shows age and wear with scuffs and soiling. Cracked and deformed composition hands that seemed to have melted due to heat. Please determine the condition by yourself, taking a close look at all pictures and asking questions.
