Vintage Woodsman Hand Puppet. Measures about 12" in total height. Good condition. Shows age and use, stain on clothes.
Add a touch of nostalgic storytelling to your collection with this charming vintage 12-inch woodsman hand puppet. This character, often used as the "Hunter" or "Woodcutter" in classic fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, features a wonderful molded rubber head with a textured grey beard and a traditional cap. These puppets were popular mid-century playthings, often produced in Germany or Hong Kong during the 1960s and 70s for classroom use and home theater.
Measuring approximately 12 inches in total height, the puppet is designed for easy manipulation by both children and adults. The cloth body shows authentic signs of its history as a well-loved toy, including some visible staining on the fabric and general wear from years of imaginative play. Rather than detracting from the piece, these details provide a genuine vintage character that modern reproductions lack. It remains a sturdy and functional piece of folk-style puppetry, perfect for collectors of vintage toys or for use in creative performances.
This item is vintage, approximately 50-60 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
