Bob Baker limited edition 4 foot original marionette no. 139 of 200

I’ve lowered the price on this to way below what is worth as I unfortunately need the money. I’ll consider reasonable offers offers shipping price can vary tremendously if shipping is cheaper the difference will be refunded. I doubt there are more than 3-5 in this condition

The price will change at any time or I will keep this as it will surely be worth 10 times this in 15 more years.

It is in mint condition or brand new condition. Original owner the climate and light controlled environment.

It is one of only 200 pieces hand made by Bob Baker.

4 foot life size Pinocchio Marionette.

Who ever buys this will make a lot of money on it if they have the time to wait.

Up for sale is this extremely rare four foot life-sized real working marionette. This marionette has never been played with and has been hanging in the same spot over the years. I personally bought this marionette and it was originally not even for sale. Bob Baker made these as a prop for the Disney stores around 1990.

The marionette is in perfect condition and has absolutely no scratches on it. It has 1 tiny chip on his hand that it was purchased with it has been kept in a climate controlled basement for its entirety without light to fade the paint and without and weather to ruin the value of this marionette whatsoever. This is one of my rarest pieces in my entire Disney collection. I hate parting with anything in my collection but unfortunately have to sell parts of my collection. This is worth far more than I’m asking but need to sell this quickly if I can. This will be packed and shipped by ups and fully insured. So there will be no question if it is damaged, as to how it will be packed to the best possible way as to arrive safely.

The collection was once set up in the basement of my previous home which spanned an amazing 5000 square feet. See the last 3 pictures for just a glimpse into what the Disney collection looked like when it was set up. Right before those three pictures, there is a picture of what this marionette looked like and how it was stored and displayed for close to 16 years without being touched and without anything touching it. I have plenty more pictures but eBay only allows 12 pictures to be posted per listing. If you would like more pictures please feel free to ask as it will not be a problem to send you more pictures at my leisure.

The strings on this marionette are all still in tact and in perfect, working condition. if you live in new jersey or the tri-state area and you would like to see this marionette before purchasing, please let me know and we can arrange a time for viewing of the marionette for serious inquiries only. Please do not hesitate to ask for more pictures. There are only a few of these left in this condition and I believe this piece to be in much better condition than any of the other ones left because the other owners are noting scratches and a bunch of chips on theirs. This has no issues whatsoever and would look good hanging anywhere inside of anyone’s home.
