Charlie McCarthy Chase & Sanborn Coffee Premium Puppet
Availability: Out Of Stock
Here's an original premium puppet produced by the Ketterlinus Company in 1939. It was offered as a "mailaway" premium from Chase & Sanborn Coffee, the sponsors of Bergen & McCarthy's popular radio show.
This wonderful puppet measures 21" tall by 8-1/4" at its widest. The mouth and eyes both move, actuated by a single tab on the puppet's back. The legs are designed to fold at the lap and the knees so he can "sit" on your lap.
These come up fairly often at radio premium auctions and on eBay. HOWEVER... you rarely find them in condition this FINE. This one is EXCEPTIONAL. I don't even bother with buying these 70+ year old puppets unless I find truly outstanding ones. Most of these found today have creases in the fingertips or hat brims, or the legs are detached. This one is PRISTINE.... you'll be proud to own it. You can have it framed for a truly gorgeous display piece. [PLEASE NOTE - The white "spots" on Charlie's top hat is actually glare from overhead lighting... I photographed him still inside the protective mylar. His hat does NOT have white spots!]
Comes archivally protected in a mylar bag with acid-free backboard.
