Offered for sale is a wonderful large marionette / puppet Valentine.It is unmarked; it is unsigned. However, this piece is an excellent example of the work done by Raphael Tuck & Sons: designed in England, and produced in Germany.Opening offer is what I paid for this Valentine, many, many years ago! (see last photo)
The ball player\'s arms, thighs, and legs can be moved by the attachments on the reverse. The strings and ring appear to be original.Or, the ball player can simply be displayed on the wall by a loop through his cap.I recommend framing this wonderful piece! : )
This piece is sold \'AS IS,\" since he is missing his little finger (right hand) and also a couple of fingers and a thumb on the left hand. The end of his left shoe might (hard to tell?!) also be damaged.I believe a previous owner has *reinforced* the attachment of the original puppet strings (on the reverse side) to the paper a long, long time ago.
offer with confidence. I am an Seller and a Buyer and a shareholder, too.
