$125 · VINTAGE PUPPET STAGE AND TEN PUPPETS HANDMADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Puppet Stage Handmade Czechoslovakia has 4 stages and 10 puppets in costumes. In very good shape. We tried to take pictures of everything. I have added some history on the stage. Vintage Czech Puppet Theater and Marionettes, JAS Czechoslovakia String Puppets and Stage, 1970s Children's Toys Prague, Scene Marionettes, Milos Kasal Puppets Maker, Puppets Theater Czech puppet theater with 4 detail illustrated sets by Karel Franta, and 10 painted gypsum and cloth marionettes on wires. Includes a king, a princess, little boy, and girl. The whole set packs away inside the stage. Box / stage measures 23" x 14.5" x 2" in size. When set up, the theater measures about 15" tall. Each puppet (not including wire/string) is about 5" tall. Includes; 2 Large back scenes double sided 8 Small side scenes panels double sided 2 Theater front panels double sided 1 Theater front topper with yellow curtain 6 Wood dowel baguettes to hold the scene panels What an extraordinary find, with lots of lovable elements, and some wear from age and use over the last 40 years. The stage is a box made of pressboard - one side green, one side plain brown has a piece that sides out to get into the items under the stage. The thick cardstock backed set pieces are double sided the pieces fit into lightweight pine wood pieces, which in turn sit in holes in the stage. The front part (two sides and top) holds a yellow curtain that can be raised and lowered. The puppets are made of poly knit cloth, some wood, plus painted gypsum/plaster heads and hands. They are attached to top wires to walk them around, and their arms are attached to strings so they can gesture simply with their hands.
