    It believe it is 1930s, but is missing pieces. Not sure if Disney, but looks to be a mouse of sorts. Any ideas which character? Thanks.

    I think it is just the remains of some generic puppet, and should be given to a child who has a 'My Little Crematorium' to play with.

    Now, now AF...

    I fixed it to do an image search:

    If you use that image to search Goggle Images and the title "wooden mouse", you'll find a couple of others, but I don't think there's a lot of info. Not Mickey. I don't think Ignatz either.

    I'd also search for "wooden articulated mouse" rather than puppet. It looks more like Ignatz than Mickey. Are you sure it isn't?

    I said I didn't think it was Ignatz because the Ignatz drawings show a more pencil-like snout. Entirely happy to be wrong.

    I'm just glad it was identified. Plus still think what you did on the image was great. Thanks again.

    I googled "Articulated Wooden Mouse" and at some point got the name of the company. When I googled that, all the images of their toys popped up and I narrowed it down.

    Thanks again, Bev. Really do appreciate the help. I have to see if there is a way to find something or maybe another from the period to try and do in real time what moreotherstuff did in the pic. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
