I have had this set of three antique glove puppets for about 40 years. They have been kept in a box for the last 20 years. (my children were frighted by one of them so I tucked them away and almost completely forgot them) I am selling them individually at $250 each but would happily negotiate a fair price for the collection. I have searched the internet and not found a puppet similar to these. They are very old and worn but the beauty, the details, the stories these dolls must have told... I think they are breath taking. This listing is for the Black haired female puppet. She measures about 20" tall and about 12 inches wide at the sleeve of her gown. Please review the images and if you have any further information to add, please fill me in!! you may also visit my site on Etsy by pasting this link into your browser. http://www.choosehappy.etsy.com   « Less

This listing is for the Black haired/Red faced male puppet. He is a scary looking puppet and I would love to know the history.
