I
‘ve collected German puppets, all brands, for many years; however, I am not experienced in their identification. If       they are not labelled, I am going on my best knowledge about their specific manufacture; I welcome those with more   knowledge to share it with me please.
* Fabric body has evidence of dye that ran – see pics
Please let me know if you need more pics/info!
