Goliath (Hal Smith) Stop-Motion Dog Puppet - DAVEY & GOLIATH (1960 - 2004)
A Goliath (voiced by Hal Smith) stop-motion dog puppet from the 1960s children’s television series Davey & Goliath. The puppet is constructed from an internal metal and wire armature covered with foam and plasticine and inset with two plastic eyes. It is painted brown and covered with flocking to simulate fur. The puppet has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, it remains in good but delicate, vintage condition overall. After years of production use, small portions of the plasticine are missing around the ears, jaw and tail.

After launching the popular The Gumby Show to much acclaim, Art and Ruth Clokey created Davey and Goliath produced by the United Lutheran Church. The long-running syndicated show about family and community values would eventually air on ABC, CBS and NBC.

Dimensions: 8” x 3” x 6” (20 cm x 15 cm x 7 1/2 cm)

Provenance: Mr. Art Clokey
