Please see all 9 picturesOffering this very rare vintage 1950 Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent toy hand puppet from the Time For Beany Show, later reimagined as the animated Beany and Cecil Show. The puppet measures about 9” long and the opening is 3” or less in diameter. Designed for a child’s hand. The bottom edge is marked Copyright BOB CLAMPETT.It is made of thick green vinyl with original paint. there is some paint loss mostly in the moth area. Displays fantastic. The vinyl is ...rather stiff. When I got it it was really stiff and I softened it a bit using wintergreen oil in water, a trick I learned on the internet for softening old rubber automotive parts. So, He smells a bit like wintergreen but it’s pleasant, not bad. I didn’t go too far so he’s still a bit stiff but much more pliable than before.
All in all, an excellent example of a very rare character toy. You will look long and hard before you find another example. Vintage made in the USA!
