<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 379529, member: 29&quot;]I think he&#039;s a proper showman&#039;s puppet. Rather too crude, almost, for a toy. He has a helmet, so has to be later than the 1860s. I suspect late 19th C, although I think those buttons were replaced far later. He has the visibility stripes on one sleeve which are 1890s ish. </p><p><br /></p><p>You could contact these people: <a href="https://www.britishpuppetguild.org.uk/index.php/about-the-guild/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishpuppetguild.org.uk/index.php/about-the-guild/" rel="nofollow">https://www.britishpuppetguild.org.uk/index.php/about-the-guild/</a> or better still this: <a href="http://www.punchandjudy.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.punchandjudy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.punchandjudy.com/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Looks familiar? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.punchandjudy.com/heads/imagepages/image7.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.punchandjudy.com/heads/imagepages/image7.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.punchandjudy.com/heads/images/constable19thcent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
