Description

Here are four vintage Steiff hand puppets from the 1970s, some still have their identification marks.

The lot contains:
Steiff Puppet King; produced 1969 to 1978, Steiff button and label (7073/17) are present, made of red and blue felt, with white gloves, a synthetic head, white Dralon beard and hair, and a kingly crown of course. King is in very good condition.

Steiff Puppet Princess; produced 1969 to 1977, no IDs left, made of blue felt, with collar, a synthetic head, blond braids under a pointy hat with a net veil. In the head sits a plastic sheath for the puppet playeru2019s finger. You may notice that Steiff decided to give our princess and the hand Punch (also in this lot) the same face! Princess is in very good condition.

Steiff Puppet Punch; produced 1963 to 1974, no IDs left, Punch (official Steiff name is u201cHappy`) played a bit in his time, you see that one pompom is reduced to a small bobble, the bell from the tip of the felt cap is lost as well. From the Steiff button and yellow label there remains only a tiny hole. Apart from this the old Punch is fine, the head has a plastic sheath for the puppet players finger, and the red and yellow felt glove is ok, as are the white felt hands and the foolu2019s collar.

Steiff Magician or wizard Puppet; produced 1969 to 1977, with Steiff button and label (7076/17), made of green, Bordeaux red, and yellow felt, with black gloves, a synthetic head, black mohair beard and hair, and an attitude of course. Originally this fine Magus would have had red plastic spectacles, but they are lost. Old Magician is in very good condition.

All the old hand puppets measure 17 cm / 6 u00be inches ? glove only (fits to every average sized adult hand) and approximately 25 cm / 10 inches to the top of the head.

The 4 vintage Steiff hand puppets come together without puppet stands! They are a lot and cannot be purchased as single items. They would make a great addition to your puppet theater or may be ideal to start one! A great gift for the vintage toy collector too! Vintage Punch and Judy at its finest!
