I thought Howdy Doody was at the Smithsonian (American History) in DC.

Two of my favorites were "Men into Space" brought to you by Lucky Strike. And of course "Whirlybirds". Both from the late 50's

Your Howdy Doody is an impostor. Howdy Doody was locked up in a Bank Vault until May 10,2000. When the United States District Court Judge Christopher F. Droney ruled The Detroit Institute of Arts is the rightful owner of the puppet, according to the terms of a 1967 contract between the Howdy Doody Puppeteer Rufus Rose and NBC. "The ruling authenticated the puppet, noting that in a 1970 letter to Buffalo Bob Smith, Rose Referred to the Puppet as 'The Original Howdy Doody'."
