1950's Pelham (England) Skeleton String Marionette Puppet with Box and Instructions

This great elaborate puppet presents a pile of bones that are designed to bring to life a moving skeleton with funny head and bulging eyes. The marionette is quite complex and the first step starts with getting all of the string assemblies unwound and straight.

The original instructions will facilitate that chore and you can rest assured that you will learn how to operate this great skeleton when you complete the task of organizing the strings.

The paint markings on the bones, the condition of the string eyelets, and the important wooden stand are in excellent condition. The box itself has substantial staining and wear, but the original Pelham label remains in good condition.
