24" TRAMP STRING PUPPET
This is a rare version of the Tramp puppet, usually seen as a vent type. He is not usually seen with strings (and arms and legs! )
He has in good, but stored and used, condition with good clothes, just a bit dirty from storage. He smells a bit musty. The rubber tubing legs are good, the shoes are also good with some scuff marks to the bases. He has a good face, both eyes are working, one has some scuffing to the perspex.His mouth opens to show a pink tongue. The clothes have no holes or damage.The felt flower and bow tie are good. The velour black hat is good with no damage.The heavy black shoes have some wear to the base, so he has clearly been used at some stage.
The hair is good and he has stubble, also good!
The red cord string has been replaced to one side of the head and there is a tie in the leg string. The strings are made from a sort of red cotton cord but the head replaced thread is the standard Pelham Puppet thread and needs to be replaced with a heavier cord. The whole puppet could possibly be re strung, the head strings are a little long, so could be shortened so that the mouth is shut and can be operated by the central black thread, as he is, the mouth is a little open.
Unboxed.
Photos are difficult due to his size, but have tried my best to show the puppet and the control, which is the normal standard control bar. Puppet weighs heavy, so please ask if you are overseas about courier postage costs as Royal Mail the default for this site,will not be used over 2kg.
