Davey Hanson's Or Other Boy Puppet Costumes - DAVEY & GOLIATH (1960 - 2004) AND OTHER PRODUCTIONS


A pair of Davey Hansen (voiced by Norma MacMillan) or other boy puppet costumes from the 1960s children’s television series Davey and Goliath. The first ensemble consists of a beige space-dyed, polyester knit sweater with solid blue turtleneck dickie and slate blue corduroy trousers. The second ensemble is a red polyester turtleneck sweater striped at neck, hem and cuffs with pair of navy polyester trousers. Davey Hanson and other male characters are costumed in these and other custom-made miniature ensembles throughout the series. These costumes have been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, they remain 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 together with Dick Sutcliffe and produced by the United Lutheran Church. Incredibly, the long-running syndicated show would air on ABC, CBS and NBC, usually as part of their Saturday morning programming, and can still be found broadcast today.

Dimensions (each ensemble): 7” x 6” x ¼” (18 cm x 15 cm x 0 1/2 cm)

Provenance: Mr. Art Clokey
