Puppets that were used in the 1964 stop-motion animation Christmas special are going up for auction.



The 11-inch-tall Santa and Rudolph puppets are being sold as one lot and are expected to bring between $150,000 and $250,000.



The figures were created by Japanese puppet maker Ichiro Kumoro more than 55 years ago.



The auction is being held by Profiles in History and begins November 13.
