Item Description
Pinocchio is 17” tall and a rather unique creation by Charlotte in that his body and head are stuffed fabric whereas his arms and legs are solid wood. There are pencil line drawings at the mid-point of each arm and leg to imply that each is hinged at the elbow and knee although these are actually solid pieces of wood with no actual joints. Unfortunately his nose was a separate piece and this has been lost over the years. However, the rest of him is in very nice condition with the exception of a 8 small holes or partial holes scattered over his yellow felt hat due to insects. Features include tuft of black cloth hair peeking out from the front of his hat, eyes made of black oilcloth applied to a paper circle finished in blue all against a white felt bkg. The face is velveteen and includes stitched eyebrows and mouth. He has a blue ribbon around his hat and a pale purple bow at his neck. The vest is black corduroy with gold embroidery accent and his pants are red corduroy with multicolored fabric stripe accents on the left and right sides further accented by a pair of bright yellow plastic buttons. The shoes are beautifully crafted black felt with mustard-colored felt soles. Each shoe strap has a small notch fastened over a black button. Other than the missing nose and scattered holes on the hat, condition is clean and VF. Second is 15” tall Jiminy Cricket. He is covered in several different types of fabric including a large green felt hat with yellow hat band. The eyes are separate large pieces upon which are mounted white felt cut-outs, each accented by black oilcloth. There are various stitching accents on the face as well as the back of each hand. There are 4 small holes on the back of his pants plus 4 or 5 on the front although most of these are hidden by his turquoise shirt. The holes range from 1/8” to .25”. There are additional holes on his face including .25” by his nose, .25” by his left cheek, a pair that are .25” below the mouth and 5 that are smaller and scattered. His black jacket has just 3 tiny holes, mostly on the reverse. Attached to his ankle is a “Charlotte Clark Creation” tag with text “Made Especially For Walt Disney ©W.D. Productions.” VG. Last is a 10” tall velveteen Figaro. He has separate yellow felt eyes, each accented by oilcloth pupil. There are 4 tan glue marks where whiskers were attached but only about 25% of the whiskers remain on the upper right side. Beautifully detailed with felt pads under each foot and accented by a pink bow at the neck with very cute velveteen button nose. Aside from the whisker issue, condition is extremely Fine. Comes with notarized statement and Hake’s COA. See item #2200 for details. A unique, hand-crafted trio.
