Bob Keeshan personally owned photo lot. 56 photographs capture a variety of behind-the-scenes moments of the puppets and their puppeteer Cosmo ''Gus'' Allegretti. Many of the images have a post-it stuck to verso identifying the characters in the photo, with several apparently snapped at Busch Gardens with a real camel, tortoise and monkey. 18 of the photos are in black and white, measuring 10'' x 8''. Two are in color and measure 10'' x 8''. 35 measure 7'' x 9'' and of those, 13 are duplicates of an image of Allegretti posing with his puppets. One 7.5'' x 9.25'' photo portrays Allegretti in a bear costume. Accompanied by Keeshan's file folder and two typed letters from CBS reading in part, ''Behind every good puppet is its talented puppeteer...'' Notations to photo versos with some wear to corners. Near fine overall.
