KERSA Gretel Hand Puppet ~ 1960s Myanmar staining and a small holeFounded in 1925, KERSA is one of Europe's most known hand puppet makers. Their brand name stands for "Kreative Erzeugnisse Realisiert im Spielwaren Atelier", a German phrase that expresses their goal to produce artistic products that encourage children's imagination. This Gretel hand puppet is an excellent example of KERSA's amazing craftsmanship, made in Mindelheim, Germany circa 1960s. Her eye catching expression with stitched features is adorable.
