1950s Howdy Doody Marionette Puppet Toy with Orig. Box Peter Puppet Playthings

Description: "HOWDY DOODY" MARIONETTE PUPPET - 1950's Peter Puppet Playthings. Approx. 6.5" x 17". Painted composition and wood with fabric outfit. This toy is a great likeness of the iconic TV puppet character. Although the strings are somewhat tangled, we feel this detailed marionette (along with "Unitrol" cardboard string manipulator) is still very suitable for display purposes (see photos). NOTE: All strings are still adhered to puppet as designed. It is an earlier puppet variation with painted eyes (as opposed to the later "google eyes" version). Original metal/plastic belt is still attached. Also included is the original 6" x 16" x 3.5" box with colorful illustrated graphics. "Unitrol" instructions are on inner lid. Overall, a very attractive assortment with great eye appeal. Condition of MARIONETTE is considered GOOD to FAIR with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. Moderate spot compo/paint cracking & glaze crazing. Minimal fabric edge fraying with no tears apparent. Condition of BOX is considered FAIR with miscellaneous surface/stain/edge wear. Moderate surface creasing with scattered edge tears & spot litho deterioration (largest tear is approx. 3"). Scattered cardboard & tape reinforcement is apparent on inner box areas. That being said, we feel this marionette is still in very displayable condition by most standards (see photos). A great addition to any HOWDY DOODY, MARIONETTE PUPPET and/or EARLY TELEVISION collection. On a condition code scale of 1 to 10, the above listed item(s) rated - Puppet (7-6), Box (6). U.S.A.
