I question whether the first one made it through with the pictures attached as it never showed up in my email. You can read the person's email below to see what it is about. If you are interested, send me your personal email address and I will forward the jpgs that she sent to me. There are 19 in all. Or go ahead and contact them directly through the information given below. Susan Kinney susankinney-AT-puppet.org ----- >Hello, >Thank you for looking into the puppet makers for us. I was able to have someone translate partially the writing on the back of one >of the scenery panels; it is a goodbye from Long Island NY 1944 that the puppet show can't go on. It talks about the souls of the >puppets how they need to speak and play but can no longer and how it is best something* (can't read) needs to happen but can't. I>t is a lament and a testament to the life of this show. >Apparently the puppets were made for the Vilida's (the name that I provided you which I mistook for the makers) by Ida & Willy >Gieser or Giesen. Another name I noticed was Karl Herbert. I've attached some additional photos. Thank you kindly for your >assistance-I wish that I could keep these myself, but I have a good feeling that they will find a place where they can speak once >again. >I've taken more photos of the set as we were loading it onto our van to deliver to Brunk auction in Asheville, NC tomorrow. I believe >Andrew Brunk will broker a private sale should you know of anyone interested their phone number is 828 254-6846. The set >appears complete-everything from approx. 27 puppets, scenery painted on both sides with different scenes, a tremendous amount >of props, lighting, costumes. I appreciate the time that you took in looking at the photos and wish you the best. >Kind Regards, >Danielle Lanigan >Lanigan's Antiques >856 546-8074 _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org Archives: http://www.driftline.org
