Description from the seller
Famous Hippo Pippo, the historic advertising puppet of the 1960s and '70s, born from the mind of advertiser Armando Testa for the Lines diaper campaign during the Carosello era.
As visible from the raised-relief brand stamped under its paws, this specific model was manufactured by Ledraplastic (Ledra), a Friulian company famous for producing toys and rubber puppets with the distinctive whistle.
This specific model features the 'Hippo' logo with a white flower printed on the back side.
Its whistle is still perfectly functional.
Made of rubber or soft vinyl in light blue color.
It is a highly sought-after vintage piece in Italy and beyond, among lovers of mid-century modern and old advertising puppets.
