GENTLEMAN Hand Puppet ~ Early 1900s Punch and Judy Antique_Puppet_Head Solid structure but well playedHere's a good looking bald Gentleman hand puppet. This is a rare find from an old Punch and Judy set. He comes in unusual large size with finely carved wooden head. He has nicely painted head with expressive decal eyes. He has a fabric body with some lovely small wooden hands and legs. He is from German origin, likely made in the early 1900s. He has solid structure and displays very well, but he shows play wear, gained during his many years of life.
