On Top of the Bookcase
Above the Bookcase are heads. On the left is Witch and Wizard behind two Pirates. On the right is a jolly fellow and a not so jolly fellow. Below we have the King and Queen then Death and the Devil. The devil has real fur for hair. Finally the good guys - Policeman, Punch, Old Man and Old Woman; the Jolly Fellow is seen again.
The puppet heads were used around Austria to entertain children in homes after the war. Dad performed the women and evil characters.

Cool. Where is Judy? That Gollem like creature at top right is wonderfully creepy.
There is another snooper in the Anonyhouse. Shhhh.......
Also wondered where Judy is! Not all of them survived and are over fifty years old. They were retrieved from a Vienna attic above a Catholic stone building where they were hidden for safe keeping.
That is Gollem and he talks! He was Bearman's Father's Day present this year. You are just creeped ...
Are you ANOTHER visitor who won't come back to visit me in my AnonyHouse?
Who are you talking to? And what do you mean "won't come back"????
Gollem was my favorite from the books. Precious, just precious.
I don't get many visitors, and when I do they usually don't come back. One visitor saw my heads and wouldn't go into the Living Room!
Yes, precious!
Big chicken. But more for Precious!
I've been here numerous times. Don't you recognize me????
Whatsyernamemous?
Austria or Australia??
(I have a brother now married and living in Austria near Vienna...)
The puppets were in Austria but now haunting Australia. Your Brother is safe Caroline ...
