Description

VINTAGE PUPPET OR VENTRILOQUIST CLOTH BOY DOLL FROM THE 1940'S. THE HEAD IS A TYPE OF CERAMIC AS WELL AS THE HANDS. HIS BACK HAS AN OPENING IN THE GARMENT WHERE YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND INSIDE HIS BODY. YOUR FINGERS GO INSIDE THE HEAD AND INTO THE SLEEVES TO WORK THE ARM MOVEMENTS. HE IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND WEAR IS CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND USE. THIS DOLL IS 22" TALL. THE LEGS ARE PADED AND HE HAS SOCK FEET. THE DARK PURPLE TOP HAS 5 BUTTONS, THE SAME COLOR AS THE TOP, DOWN THE FRONT. THE PANTS ARE THE SAME DEEP PURPLE COLOR. HIS HEAD HAS AGE CRACKS AND ONE CHIP ONE THE SIDE (SEE PHOTO). HIS FACE HAS DARK BROWS, BLUE EYES, A DARK LINE AROUND THE MOUTH, WHICH IS SMILING AND SHOWING 3 TEETH. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF FOLK ART. MANY PEOPLE COLLECT THESE ANTIQUE PUPPET/VENTRILOQUIST DOLLS. I ACQUIRED A LARGE DOLL COLLECTION AND SELLING THEM "AS IS" AND PRICING THEM ACCORDING TO CONDITION. THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY BELOW MARKET VALUE.
