commercial sounding. also copyright issues. and COI[edit]
removed lots of commercial puffery (about this object on the secondary market which has sold at auction). way too much legendary and historic (etc) for an old TV prop. i was copyediting anyway but then discovered that much of the text was lifted straight from the buyer's personal website --both a copyright problem and a resale/donation value Conflict Of Interest. the talk page about the buyer already mentions many worries about COI.

The article on “Howdy Doody” says that Smith had a second Photo Doody made, which was the one (it says) that he was using up until his death in 1998 - shouldn’t that be covered here? The article treats the subject as if there was only ever one. Also, would it not be better to roll this article into the main “Howdy Doody” article, with a section on the three original puppets, and the subsequent replicas which Smith commissioned, the yeas for which they served, etc.? I’m a complete ignoramus on this subject, and only found this because of a reference to “Photo Doody” in an article about Andy Kaufman, and it would be more useful in an article which covered all aspects of the show (which may be a cultural icon in the U.S. but doesn’t seem to have traveled any further).
