Rare Vintage Pluto Pup Walt Disney Hand Puppet - Rubber Head - Felt Ears - Cloth Body - Rare retailer Collectible Toy

This is a rare Disney collectible toy.

It is a Pluto Pup hand puppet that I think is from the 1950s.

The head is a molded rubber with painted eyes and nose. Please note that some of the paint on the nose has worn. The painting of the eyes, however, is intact, and gives a wonderful expression.

Brown felt ears hang out of ear holes. This appears to be a rare feature to find. I would imagine the fabric was torn out of the ears. Please note retailer that there is some damage (small holes) at the bottom of the right ear.

The "body" is created from a yellow-white cotton of wide weave with a blue flower print. The "hands" are a ribbed cotton. There is some age-related wear, but it is in very good vintage condition.

This unusual piece measures approximately 10" long by 12" across (finger tip to finger tip).

I can't find a Disney label or imprint, but it must be a Disney product
