I have to admit, when I think back on the toys we played with and some of the scary illustrations in story and Fairy Tales, we grew up with some interesting lives. This wonderful pair of fun, albeit, odd looking monkey hand puppets (and yes it is special to have a matching pair) were likely first my mothers or eldest brothers as we first came along in the 1940s and I know these Composition molded rubber head hand puppets were from the 30s era. Wow, they have almost survived 100 years of play time. Quite amazing. Obviously the Composition rubber weathers with age but the cloth and hands have survived remarkably well. I know someone will greatly appreciate them in their new home. As always, Free Shipping, a worthy charity donation and the "BEST OFFER" format for all buyer considerations.
