The Snerf Mystery

[Convincing John]

Okay, we know about those ultra rare Kermit and Rowlf Ideal puppets from the 1960's. But it has been rumored that a Snerf was made as well. Rowlf even mentions them in the original commercial!

So, uh, did they actually make a few Snerf puppets...or did fib to us? The site says that the Snerf was never released commercially, but who knows? Maybe a handful of 'em were made as prototypes, and maybe some of 'em got sold from the Henson Company years ago. Rest assured, if they did release some of these Snerfs, we might see one on Ebay someday and "find it amusing that the Snerf puppet is the same price as an Oldsmobile."

Here's the Snerf

You can see it in the link I posted for the Ideal puppets commercial. It's to the left of Jim Henson.

I think they might have appeared on SS way back in 1969, too.

Thanks so much for your quick response.
So friendly... Muppet fans are the best...
I had never heard of/seen a Snerf before, now I feel so informed..
