Howdy Doody Embroidered Bib | Infant Sz. OS | c. 1950s
Details
This hand-embroidered vintage bib is a playful nod to one of midcentury America’s most beloved puppets—Howdy Doody himself. With his signature freckled grin, gingham shirt, and lassoed cowboy hat, he’s stitched in vibrant colors that still pop after decades. The words “Howdy Doody” curve beneath him in cheerful red thread, framed by scalloped edges bound in deep red cotton trim.
Originally crafted in the 1950s, the bib is made from soft, off-white cotton and backed in a single layer for lightweight use. Though designed for wear, it's equally compelling as wall art—especially in a nursery, toy room, or retro-themed space. Whether framed or styled on a shelf, it tells a nostalgic story from the golden age of television.
The ties are frayed with age, but the fabric remains intact and clean, with all embroidery fully visible. A charming, collectible piece of Americana with true hand-touched appeal.
