@motionettes: 🎃 Only the SECOND known example of the Handerson Handicraft Cauldron Witch has ever been found! Ours measures about 32”, the other known version is 24” total. This one is almost 10” taller! 🎃 Handerson Handicraft was building animated Halloween figures in Taiwan as early as 1976, years before Telco became the household name collectors know today. 🎃 Unlike Telco, Handerson was a contract manufacturer, creating Motionettes for a variety of companies and seasonal gift shops. 🎃 This witch uses an ingenious mechanical design. The motor is hidden inside the cauldron, and the stirring stick transfers the movement to her arm and head. There isn’t even a motor inside the body! 🎃 Collectors believe Handerson created the iconic witch head sculpt that Telco would later make famous. 🎃 Discoveries like this continue to rewrite the history of vintage Halloween Motionettes, proving there are still incredible rarities waiting to be found. 👻 #motionettes #vintagehalloween #halloween #telco #halloweenanimatronics
