So would that explain the separate heads? And I was influenced of Howdy Dowdy, Mr. Bunny Rabbit on Captain Kangaroo (who I didn't like) and Addis Williams in NYC. I owe everything to him and the late Bill Connelly. They took me to my first Bread and Puppet performance, taught me how to move a marionette or die trying and just loved me through a divorce, buying a coop and getting religion.

I have forwarded the link to the Peter Baldwin the author of the book several list members have mentioned and owner of the Pollock's Toy theatre shop in Covet Garden London. Peter has probably the large collection of Toy theatre in World, certainly in the UK, and is president of the British Puppet and Model Theatre Guild. I will let you know if and when he responds.
