This is a all wood Pinocchio with a spare short nose attached to wrist . I believe he was made in the 1980's . Clearly marked Made in Italy, Milano, Giocattoli Brevettati Galetti. He is 16 inches tall . The quality of workmanship is superb .
His nose unscrews and can be short or long . He is fully jointed .
See Walksoft I like Pinocchio he is in garden for a photo shoot and he is afraid of MiKies Gremlin who had to get in the picture :-)

ToysToys are objects for the imagination, the physical things children manipula…
Manikin this very special :) love this very much and he's so cute:)
Thank you Sean :-) Walksoft wanted to know why I tagged him as Pinocchio but I think he is cute . I forgot who I tagged you as ? Did you see video ?
Your very welcome:) I think he looks like Pinocchino :)I see why you did because of his nose:-----)
LOL Sean . I tagged you the little Jungle boy now his name slips my mind . A free spirit you are and he was cute too :-)

Aw thank you manikin :)yes he was:)
That was very cool manikin and very sweet of you :)
Loved that as well , very put together:)
Very cute Mani! I think my kiddos need spare noses too!
We are coming back to Chicago tomorrow...sad vacation is over.
Have a few things to post when I get back.
Very Neat Piece, Looks great in the garden.
Love this one!!!
Love it, I haven't been called cute in a long time, considering my nose and funny hat.
Mowgli, is the name of the character in "The Jungle Book" , I saw him in the video.
That was a good pick for Sean.
PS That was my favourite story, I still have the book somewhere. I can still here Ballo singing "The Bear Necessities"
Could I have the short nose back on please, & get me out of the garden & away from the carpenter ants & that hideous creature. It's a good thing I'm fully jointed I may have to start running! :-)
David as you can see you moved away from the critter and down by the butterfly and angel . You were just strollin a long but you ran upstairs back to your room when you saw the gremlin :-)
Thank you MiKKo did you see yourself on video ?
No, dear Manikin,I didn't! Am I in the video? Oh, I'll go look again!!!! Tee hee wheeee! Thank you! Perhaps I'm Micky Mouse? If so, you're dead on the money. I was named after St. Michael the Archangel, but I am a woman. Thank you, I'm off! : D
Oh, I see now! I'm a fairy godmother! Thank you so much, Manikin!!! I missed it. To make up for my tardy response, I hereby conjure you up a platter of Brownies with walnuts and pecans, and send them on to you via Aladdin! : D
MiKKo Oh I'm glad you see it :-) The font for some reason was smaller on that one .Nothing I changed it was made smaller on upload . I just thought your name sounded magical . As in Christmas wishes :-) Anyway the strange thing is I awoke from a nap to find my freezer full of home made muffin's :-) My friend had dropped them off . It was magic I am sure you waved your wand and they appeared LOL that is funny .
Manikin u have out done ur self :)
Manikin,
I acquired one of these several years ago to give to one of my granddughters who played Pinocchio in the play Pinocchio. On opening night I gave her the wooden Pinocchio, a first edition book of Pinocchio and a dozen roses.
This brought back a lot of great memories.
Thanks, Dave.
Thank you Pw . I am glad it brought back good memories ! They are the best kind
and thanks for stopping at my post always glad to see you .
Thank you kerry !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love it Mani !!!!! (:-D)
You're very welcome Mani. Thanks for sharing this wonderful "Disney" piece!!
I love this, what a nice boy for your garden, nice size. Hope you have had some relief from the heat, or are you still deep frying ?!~
Thank you Phil :-) ! It has cooled off here and weather gave us a break and has been wonderful for 3 whole days now ! So I am outside breathing real air not AC as much as I can and loving it . I talked to family in Ardath on phone last night and town now has 16 people !
Wow, with a small town like that a phone call would get to pretty much the whole population, wish I lived in a small town like that with at least one decent store.
I see they made these in all different sizes, the biggest was a whopping 38 inches, I will have to try to get one for my sisters garden !~
Phil they will be driving into your town :-) this week to go to cemetery that is where my family is buried .
The Pinocchio is painted wood Phil I am not sure he would stand up to long in a garden . I just put him out there to photo for lighting . Wow 38 " that would awesome to stand in a room :-) Or in a covered outside area like a patio with a roof .
Cool Mani !!!! Love the video too...I'm a bug ??!! JK always loved Jiminy !!!
Hedge your a cute Jiminy , It kinda remined me of a Hedge . He is sweet and Walksoft said said on other post of song for this LP You wouldn't have to walk anymore you could ride on his shoulder :-) Wasn't that nice of him now you can see over the hedges on his shoulder . Glad you enjoyed it ! and thanks much !!
GOOFY! ok, maybe your right. Nice job Mani. One detail you got wrong though, neither of us can dance, you know that.
