Handmade Punch and Judy 1930s "Neighbor" Hand Puppet early 20th century interior and flowers and vines

and flowers and vines

it's made of milk glass and printed with different cards on every face

Beautifully crafted with hand-painted features

but this is my favorite among them and the one that really got me

It has a bit of a different quality on either side--one showing darker the other a little rustier red

Handmade Punch and Judy 1930s "Neighbor" Hand Puppet early 20th century interior and flowers and vinesWhat a face! I know this puppet was created as part of as group of handmade Punch and Judy puppets to represents the "Neighbor" character; funnily enough, I think he looks a little like Jim Nabors, too, but even more so like Jim Broadbent! Really a wonderfully expressive guy, with huge red mouth, super bushy eyebrows and furrowed brown, and with arms that were made in. quite a wonky way, one higher than than the other.
