sought-after ! Vtg 1950s 1960s Ideal Toys Bill Baird Dragon Hand Puppet Dinosaur Sock Puppet

For sale is a Vintage Original Dragon or Dinosaur Hand Puppet designed by renowned puppeteer Bill Baird and manufactured in the 1950s or 1960s by Ideal Toy Company. The puppet features a rubber head and striped fabric sleeve.

The puppet is in GOOD USED CONDITION with obvious signs of age and wear. There are light marks and scuffs on the rubber, as well as a spot on the tip of the horn where the red paint has worn off. There is a small stain on one side of the sleeve, while there are holes on both sides of the sleeve near the bottom cuff.

The stitching has come undone at two spots along the side hemline of the sleeve, resulting in noticeable holes. Additionally, the stitching has come undone at one small spot along the bottom hemline. These can be easily mended if desired. (SEE PICTURES for details).

Item comes from a smoke-gratis home. See my other listings for more vintage hand puppets, including a Shari Lewis "Hush Puppy" puppet and a Bugs Bunny puppet. I offer combined dispatch.
