"Boy, oh, Howdy!"

If you have wondered how to get into the head of one of these smaller vintage Howdy Doody dolls, the picture above tells all (well, maybe not all, but you get the idea). The mouth can be pulled directly out of the head. The bigger challenge is replacing the rubber band - each time I do that repair I ask myself, "How on earth did you manage to do that?!"

Note: The open and close balance eyes on this doll work perfectly. Because someone is certain to ask, I'll tell you now - this doll is not for sale. It was sent to me for repair by its owner.
