What is the value of a Howdy Doody marionettes 1956?

Answer 1

Lord only knows, but strictly speaking they were not Dolls but puppets with operant strings. Howdy-Doody was a puppet, not a doll. They were among the few television kiddy shows that was NOT a Cartoon, nor did they run Cartoons on the side ( Captain Kangaroo routinely ran cartoons such as Tom Terrific and sometimes read from comic-like heavily illustrated juvenile books)l. As far as I know Howdy Doody ( which was banned in out household for some reason) did not use cartoons.

Answer 2

It is hard to say, much depends on the condition and rarity as well as if it is operable, of the puppet. If this was one actually used on the show- it would of course be valued higher. Howdy Doody puppets were commercially offered by Sears and other Mail order houses in their Christmas catalogs for several years, so they had a very wide distribution. You could look up an Old catalog- these have been reprinted , and see the value. they were not cheap ( Dollar toys) out of say John"s bargain stores and they were more expensive owing to the copyright royalties of the Howdy Doody Character.

Answer 3

If it's authentic and in good shape it most certainly is.

Answer 4

The value of a Howdy Doody record is dependent on a few factors. These factors include the record title, its condition, and its demand.

The Howdy Doody show was from the earliest days of TV, the 1950s, so that would make it over 50 years old.
