    Antique Hand Puppets - Set of 5 Little Red Riding Hood
    I have Antique Hand Puppets - Set of 5 Little Red Riding Hood that I am trying to find more information on and a price to that I can sell them. Picture attached.

    Big Bad Woolf - Hand Painted Paper Mache Head measures approx 13" around, 5 1/2" from tip of
    Ears to start of fabric at neck, approx 10" from shoulder to bottom of fabric, overall approx 17".

    Little Red Riding Hood - Plastic Head with Moving Eyes approx 6" loosely around head and hood - 4 1/3 tight, 2 1/2" from tip
    Of hood to start of fabric at neck, 13 1/2" from shoulder to bottom of fabric, Red cape approx 11" and overall approx 15 1/2".

    Grandmother - Hand Painted Wood Composite Head approx 5 1/2" loosely around head and rag hat,
    2 1/2" from tip of rag hat to neck, 10" from shoulder to bottom of fabric, overall approx 12".

    The Hunter - Hand Painted Wood Composite Head approx 5 1/2" around head and 10" around brim of hat,
    2 1/2" from top of hat to neck, 7 1/2" from shoulder to bottom of fabric, overall approx 9".

    Unknown Character - Hand Painted Wood Composite Head approx 6" loosely around head and rag hat,

    These very old Hand Puppets were picked up at an Estate Sale 15 years ago and have been stored since.
    Each piece is in nice shape considering - the wood composite pieces have a bit of wair as shown in pictures.

    Hi, akapebble!

    One thing that's to your advantage here, is that they are a set with a theme to them.

    How old do you think they are, please?

    Thanks!

    Hi - Thank you for the response... I really am not sure how old they are. They look old - I picked them up at a flea market/antique show... what do you think?
