Hi Margaret,

Depending on the condition of the puppet, you might be able to attract some interest from buyers. I would suggest doing a search on ebay for puppets and do some research on comparison prices. I do know that hand puppets seem to be popular on ebay, and if the puppet is in good to excellent condition, it may be of some interest to collectors.

Outside of that, I'm afraid I can't help much, as I don't know much about vintage puppets. You may want to see if you can get your hands on a collector's guide to puppets, which may have more information which might help you.
