Title: marionette info and pricing please?
Post by: yarp on October 15, 2013, 10:01:24 pm

I couldn't find anything like this anywhere my mother found this in a box of her grandmother's stuff afew years ago and gave it to me its a mostly wooden marionette the hat I do not know what it is made of maybe an early plastic or rubber it is a flexible material, the feather appears to be real, the marionette has two straight bars. As far as I Can see there are no identifying marks or signatures and has minimal damage most significant is on the head.
any help would be appreciated.

yarp, just edit your post by "hi-lighting" each of those links, 1 at a time, and then clicking the Insert Image tab, ... 2nd from left.

When all 5 are done as said ...... then click the Save tab and they will appear in your post.

Thankyou cogar...I,ve learned something new....

You can "upload" (display) high-megapixel photos (>3kb each) thataway ....... because the ASC server software doesn't have to permanently "store-it" in its data files ...... but simply transmits the photo directly from its "linked" source to your PC

YA gotta remember though, ..... if you ever post a picture to ASC via such a link ......... and then weeks or months later you decide to "delete" that picture from your "PhotoBucket" storage or whatever ....... it will no longer be viewable in your ASC Post ...... and a red "X" in a box will be thhere instead of your photo.
