This is a charming circa 1950s mohair duck hand puppet, full of that soft, characterful mid-century style. It has curly mohair-style fabric, a stitched felt beak and feet, and simple embroidered eyes — all classic features of early handmade or small-workshop puppets from this era. The body is light and unstructured, so it moves beautifully on the hand and also displays really well.
The puppet is in good condition with expected wear due to age, and it has been left unwashed to retain its authenticity and original texture. It’s a wonderful piece for collectors of early toys, mohair animals or retro children’s puppetry, and it adds so much warmth and personality to a vintage nursery or display shelf.
Approximate dimensions: 29 x 26 x 11cm.
