My Russian push puppets
Russian push puppets? Some plastic, some wood. |
... were these made in the Soviet Union, correctly called The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or commonly also called Russia? I would love to be able to say for sure. As I purchased each one, the eBay seller told me it had been made in Russia, probably in the 1960's. That is what I know. And a couple of them I know where the previous owner lived and the manufacturer of the chimney sweep. Take a look... If you have any information regarding these old plastic puppets, I would be happy to hear from you. I have five puppets. |
