The famous teddy baby hand puppet was introduced to the public in 1929 and had been produced until 1978 with only a few interruptions. The puppet that you can see here is from about 1955. It still has the popular label with the imprint "Teddy Baby". Since about 1958 a label with the imprint "Hand-Teddy" had been used increasingly. Old teddy hand puppets are nowadays difficult to find, when they are complete and with all trademarks.
