Description

Howdy Doody Lot (Tee-Vee Toy/Mark Brand/Lido/Kagran Corp, 1950-55). Straight from the golden age of television and packed with nostalgia, this vintage Howdy Doody lot features six charming collectibles that bring the beloved puppet and his pals back to life. Released by Tee-Vee Toy, Mark Brand, Lido, and Kagran Corp between 1950 and 1955, the collection captures the fun and whimsy of one of TV's earliest children's icons. Leading the lineup is a colorful set of Howdy Doody plastic figures, including five classic characters-Howdy, Clarabell, Princess Summerfall-Winterspring, Mr. Bluster, and Dilly Dally-each molded in red, blue, or yellow plastic with movable mouths. While Clarabell may be silent, he comes equipped with a horn, ready to clown around in classic style.

Also included is The Wall Walkin' Wonder of the World, a clever figure that crawls down smooth surfaces without any springs or winding, just gravity and fun. The green plastic Howdy Doody bubble pipe features Howdy's smiling face right on the front, while the Lucky Charm Key Chain set includes twelve character charms still attached to their original display card. A painted plastic toy set with the full gang encourages kids to put on their own "tee-vee" show right at home, and the Howdy Doody Sun-Ray Camera Outfit rounds things out with a delightful faux-photography playset, complete with a camera, adventure negatives, developing paper, and a mini photo album.

Each piece remains in its original packaging, which shows typical vintage wear including edge and corner softening, creases, noticeable surface wear along the Sun-Ray Camera set, discoloration, and light scuffing. The cellophane window on the camera outfit is still securely attached. Together, these six collectibles offer more than just nostalgic appeal-they're a vivid snapshot of postwar American pop culture, when Howdy Doody ruled the airwaves and Saturday mornings sparked pure joy. For collectors of classic television memorabilia or fans of mid-century Americana, this lot is a rare and delightful tribute to the magic of early broadcast entertainment.
