Any baby boomer whose best childhood friend was a certain freckle-faced, kerchief-necked puppet will be transported back in time to the Peanut Gallery by this wonderful original Howdy Doody doll from 1954. Made with extraordinary care, the 16" doll is clad in red pants and belt with big gold buckle and a colorful plaid shirt, and is as new-looking as when it was first put on toy store shelves four decades ago, when "The Howdy Doody Show" ruled the morning airwaves and Doodyville denizens like Buffalo Bob and Clarabel were household names. The classic doll comes with the original box in very good condition sans top, and inner paper wrapping.
