Alice in Wonderland Knave

We have been very lucky to obtain another rare character from the sought after Alice in Wonderland puppets, The Knave of Hearts.The Knave is in wonderful clean condition.He looks to have had very little use over the years.The clothes have no fading or visible damage.A very minor small rust spot can be seen on the back of one shoulder at the screw eye joint.He wears cream coloured breeches and a brightly coloured top.He has no cloak unlike the King from the series.He has a solid head with moulded blond hair and crown as part of the mould.The face paint has no damage.The shoes are the two tone black and white.He has composition hands.Puppet is boxed in the correctly stamped blue label box.This puppet is shown on Page 163 of Pelham Puppets a Photographic Guide Volume 1 by Paul Coleman.(There is an error on the page which gives him the title of King, whereas he is actually the Knave)
