    Description

    This Pinocchio dates from late 1930s or 1940s.  Jointed wooden doll, except the head which appears to be of a composite material.  Also the collar and bowtie are not wooden; the collar surface has some cracking.  Pinocchio is intact, and all joints work (though a bit wobbly with the legs).  The decal is partly rubbed off, but would refer to the "Ideal Novelty and Toy Co."   "Ideal Doll, USA" is embossed on the back of his neck.  I don't find a date mark on the doll, but the original owner was a child during the 1940s.
    Thanks for looking.  International shipping is not available.

    :  Though it's obvious in the photos, I note that Pinocchio's nose is clearly broken/missing.  I don't have a clue as to how "long" it was.  Thanks to a viewer for bringing this to my attention.
