Our expert's notes

Davey Hansen (voiced by Norma MacMillan) stop-motion puppet body and costume from the 1960s children’s television series Davey and Goliath. The puppet body is constructed from an internal articulated metal armature covered with foam and plasticine. Davey is dressed as a musketeer, complete with a gold tunic, cape, trousers, boots and sword sheath. A replica head, urethane hands, and a custom wood display stand were added after production for display purposes only. The puppet has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, it remains in fine, production-used, vintage condition overall.

After launching the popular The Gumby Show to much acclaim, Art and Ruth Clokey created Davey and Goliath produced by the United Lutheran Church. The long-running syndicated show about family and community values would eventually air on ABC, CBS and NBC.
